A new study led by PNNL researcher TC Chakraborty provides some answers about how irrigated agricultural land near cities affects urban heat stress.

A team from PNNL contributed several articles to the Domestic Preparedness Journal showcasing recent efforts to explore the emergency management and artificial intelligence research and development landscape.

A series of conference panels recently explored how new and evolving technologies can support emergency managers’ responsibilities.

Several Earth system components are at a high risk of undergoing rapid, irreversible qualitative changes or ‘tipping’ with increasing climate warming.

Seawater threatens to intrude into coastal freshwater aquifers that millions of people depend on for drinking water and irrigation. This study investigates sea-level rise impacts on the global coastal groundwater table.

New datasets delineating global urban land support scientific research, application, and policy, but they can produce different results when applied to the same problem making it difficult for researchers to decide which to use.

A team of researchers recently coordinated a series of international workshops aimed at enhancing chemical research security and fostering collaboration among scientists and academic researchers from both countries.

A recent paper published in Science sheds light on how aerosols—tiny particles in the air—released by industrial activities can trigger downstream snowfall events.

His expertise in data science and commitment to open science will drive dataset dissemination and advance collaborative global research efforts.

A new study reveals just how costly Earth's tipping points can be.

Through a detailed examination of historical data supported by mechanistic analysis and model experiments, researchers unveil that a large-scale climate system intensifies heat extremes and wildfire risks in the PNW.

This study shows that dry dynamics alone is not enough to understand jet stream persistence. Instead, clouds and precipitation are more important contributors than internal “dry” mechanisms to this memory of the Southern Hemisphere jet.

Scientists are developing ways to detect previously unseen forms of fentanyl as well as other synthetic opioids known as nitazenes.

The research presented in this article enhances the ability to predict and prepare for compound flood events along the U.S. coastline.

Over the past three years, PNNL’s Know Your Collaborator (KYC) workshop series has engaged hundreds of academic partners and institutional researchers internationally on the topic of research security.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of isolated deep convection & mesoscale convective systems using self-organizing maps to categorize large-scale meteorological patterns and a tracking algorithm to monitor their life cycle.

This study explored the future effects of climate change and low-carbon energy transition (i.e., emission reduction) on Arctic offshore oil and gas production.

Using numerical simulations to reproduce the laboratory experiments, this study reveals that liquid droplets are present near the bottom surface, which warms and moistens the air in the chamber.

This work shows that linear pattern scaling is an effective means of obtaining global-to-local relationships for CMIP6 models, as it has been in past model eras.

International compliance analyst Madalina Man highlighted the history of international safeguards on a podcast by the United Arab Emirates Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation.
