We all have heard our share of fish tales, but did you know that how fish hear can tell a story of their lives?

Sam Chatterjee, a senior operations research scientist at PNNL, was recently appointed as associate editor for the specialty section, “Water and the Built Environment” at the peer-reviewed, open access journal Frontiers in Water.

Ten staff members from PNNL were invited to attend and lead the various breakout sessions at the Department of Energy Office of Science 5G Enabled Energy Innovation Workshop (5GEEIW), which was held in early March.

Early achievement of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in California brings much larger health benefits than economic cost.

PNNL research scientists Jay Grate and Matthew O'Hara co-authored a chapter in the fourth edition of the Handbook of Radioactivity Analysis. 

PNNL salmon biologist Megan Nims was honored the American Chemical Society for her contribution to the community and STEM education.

Deepika Malhotra, an organic chemist at PNNL, will lend her expertise to help shape the content and quality of Pollutants a new, interdisciplinary, open access, journal focusing on a range of environmental science research.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed and continue to maintain a global database of measurements made of soil-to-atmosphere CO2 flows, termed soil respiration.

PNNL and the U.S. Forest Service used a combination of data, models, analytical techniques and software to evaluate forest restoration impacts on the environment, while also assessing the economics of resulting biomass.

PNNL has patented an instant, accurate and portable way to detect minuscule amounts of troublesome toxic PFAS chemicals in water samples.

At PNNL, subsurface science inhabits two separate but interlocking worlds. One looks at basic science, the other at applied science and engineering. Both are funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Michael Hochella, laboratory fellow and earth science advisor, was featured in a recent podcast by the National Nanotechnology Initiative.

Dr. Xiao-Ying Yu, a physical chemist at PNNL, was recently invited to join the editorial board of Atmosphere, an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes work related to—you guessed it—the atmosphere.

Existing techniques to detect pertechnetate in the environment have drawbacks. PNNL’s redox sensor technology uses a gold probe to accurately and efficiently measure low levels of pertechnetate—and possibly other contaminants—in groundwater

Nighttime interaction between Bay Area pollution and biogenic isoprene led to efficient formation of secondary organic aerosols.

Agent-based models of water resource management can include the interaction between human-engineered systems and natural processes

A new procedure for estimating sunlight reflection provides insight into feedbacks that affect Arctic warming.

A recent paper published in Water Resources Research found that the spatial variability of subsurface sediments, and seasonal fluctuations in a river’s water level, influences the behavior of a uranium contaminant plume, particularly in ...

Tower, aircraft, and satellite observations combined to evaluate weather forecast model.

With the help of a diagnostic tool called the Salish Sea Model, researchers found that toxic contaminant hotspots in the Puget Sound are tied to localized lack of water circulation and cumulative effects from multiple sources.
