A new tool helps identify non-powered dams across the country that are top candidates for conversion to power-generating hydroelectric facilities.

Metabolism metrics provide information about biological activity and carbon cycling in rivers. Conditions in large rivers differ from smaller rivers and require adjustments to existing methods.

The report explores how research in planning, data, policy, and technology can address some of the underlying challenges facing water power systems.

Less pollution and the odd shapes of snow grains as they pack together should help cut the decline of snowpack later this century.

PNNL researchers helped design and conduct an international exercise hosted by the Ministry of Finance of Finland to help improve financial sector resilience.

Floating offshore wind farms could potentially triple the Pacific Northwest's wind power capacity while offsetting billions of dollars in costs for utilities, ratepayers, insurance companies, and others.

PNNL researchers are investigating the cybersecurity vulnerabilities of an increasingly smart food and agriculture sector.

Madalina Man, an international compliance analyst, recently lent her legal expertise to an International Atomic Energy Agency International Physical Protection Advisory Service Mission in Zambia.

Developed with community input, the new Hydropower Vision Roadmap lays out a path to achieve a shared vison for modern hydropower by 2050.

PNNL’s Richard Saldanha will lead a new project to benchmark and validate models of cosmic ray exposure

A team of Washington State University students delivered a project designed to improve preparation of environmental samples for analysis at PNNL.

A team of researchers at PNNL has created a publicly available Hydropower eLibrary to improve access to information that could help streamline the FERC environmental review and licensing process.

Chanel Chauvet-Maldonado, nonproliferation policy and law analyst, completed the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Nuclear Energy Agency International School of Nuclear Law program.

Lauren Charles has been named a scientist and engineer level 5 in the national security domain.

The results of this study are consistent with the idea that the stress of chronic salinity exposure changes tree leaf shape and function, weakening their physiology and setting in motion processes that lead to death.

Scientists developed a process (or pipeline) that combined molecular probes—a specific chemical that binds to microbes carrying out a particular function—with a method that isolated these cells from their complex community.

In a new paper, researchers point to three major efforts where the biggest climate mitigation gains stand to be realized: ramping up carbon dioxide removal, reigning in non-carbon dioxide emissions and halting deforestation.

Two renewable energy approaches—enhanced geothermal systems and floating offshore wind energy—get new focus as Energy Earthshot™ Research Centers at PNNL.

Scientists screen for nanobodies that recognize wild type and mutant functional proteins to develop a framework to disrupt protein interactions that can cause disease.

High fidelity simulations enabled by high-performance computing will allow for unprecedented predictive power of molecular level processes that are not amenable to experimental measurement.
