Scientists recently developed a flow direction model which produces high-quality flow routing parameters on any mesh system.

Input from humans helps when deciding whether to trust the recommendations or decisions of a machine-learning system.

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

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.

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.

A new flow battery design achieves long life and capacity for grid energy storage from renewable fuels.

Using a combination of satellite data and modeling to study the temperatures and humidity people might feel in urban areas, researchers have pinpointed who in the U.S. is most vulnerable to heat stress.

New research finds that global warming will bring stronger and more frequent hurricanes to U.S. coasts, up by a third compared to current levels.

A multi-omics analysis provides the framework for gaining insights into the structure and function of microbial communities across multiple habitats on a planetary scale

In new work, PNNL researchers find that 10 gigatons of carbon dioxide may need to be pulled from Earth's atmosphere and oceans annually to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. A diverse suite of carbon dioxide removal methods will be key.

A new sodium battery technology shows promise for helping integrate renewable energy into the electric grid. The battery uses Earth-abundant raw materials such as aluminum and sodium.

Extreme winter storms are growing wetter and changing shape in the Western United States—such changes could compromise infrastructure designed to withstand only so much water.

Data-driven experiments can help determine best practices for Random Forest machine learning to predict water quality, particularly nitrate levels.

The world's current climate pledges won't limit global warming to 1.5 °C. We will overshoot. A new study shows that more ambitious climate pledges could minimize the overshoot.

A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can, despite great distance, strengthen storms in downwind states.

Climate change sets the stage for hurricanes to rapidly intensify faster, bringing wetter storms to the U.S. Atlantic Coast and other coastlines.

Across the United States, water moving between the river and riverbed sediments does not overcome localized processes that govern organic matter chemistry.

A Triton Story highlights the Triton Initiative's holistic marine energy environmental monitoring research, including considerations for energy sustainability and life cycle assessment next steps.

EGRASS helps prepare and fortify critical structures to protect against the worst consequences of new hurricanes.

The Triton Initative discusses special issue publications from the Triton Field Trials on environmental monitoring recommendations for marine energy applications.
