Two structurally different models agree that population change will have a greater impact on future building electricity consumption than climate change.

Historical weather data informs projections of global yields of economically important crops.

To accurately model future U.S. agricultural production, changes in international crop yields cannot be ignored.

Ken Geelhood is a nuclear engineer who is studying how the challenging conditions of a nuclear reactor affect the reliability of fuel.

Researchers introduced a simulated carbon cycle to the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, broadening its utility and enabling new research directions.

Ecosystem feedback fire model opens new investigative pathways into impacts of fire on future climate.

Increased precipitation intensity and hydrologic extremes are associated with atmospheric rivers under warming temperatures.

Hybrid land use model incorporates key factors to understanding agriculture’s potential response to climate change.

Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are closer to understanding how iron may pave the way for sequestration of technetium-99 contaminants in the subsurface.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Global Security Technology and Policy group manager, Sarah Frazar, was named to the Board of Trustees for the World Affairs Council of Seattle.

Differences in the rainfall intensity of mesoscale convective systems and other types of warm—season rainfall in the central United States lead to differences in their impacts over land.

Atmospheric rivers that make landfall on the U.S. West Coast show broad increases in size and intensity with warmer local sea surfaces.

Floodplain inundation simulations shed light on flood generation mechanisms and the increasing role of extreme rainfall.

Information extracted from a variety of atmospheric observations can correct the behavior of a model and improve simulated clouds.

A small collection of naturally interacting soil microbes could enable new studies of community interactions and metabolism.

Like a toxic Trojan horse, microplastics can act as hot pockets of contaminant transport. But, can microplastics get into plant cells? Recent research shows that they can't.

Community Land Model 5.0 can represent how irrigation influences water, carbon, and nitrogen budgets throughout a highly managed semiarid watershed.
