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

Developing an R package for modeling land use and land cover change.

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.

Aerosol treatments in E3SM affect clouds, heat reflected to space, and Earth’s snow-or-ice-covered surface.

Researchers created an open database for soil-atmosphere greenhouse gas flux data.

Soil microbial communities produced more water retaining molecules when enriched with insoluble organic carbon, chitin, compared to a soluble carbon source, N-acetylglucosamine.

PNNL researchers used the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM) to explore 15 different global scenarios that consisted of combinations of five different socioeconomic futures and four different climatic futures.

New-particle formation driven by natural biogenic emissions produces a large number of small particles in the Amazon free troposphere.

Jonathan Forman, science and technology advisor at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, was announced as the winner of the Hall of Fame award in the innovator category by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

Dust blowing onto high mountains in the western Himalayas is a bigger factor than previously thought in hastening the melting of snow there.

Five PNNL technologies were recently awarded six R&D 100 honors. The R&D 100 Awards, now in its 58th year, recognize pioneers in science and technology from industry, the federal government, and academia.
