PNNL scientists are taking part in a Department of Energy climate science field campaign in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

COVID-19 changed when and where we use electricity. Researchers showed that commonly available total demand data masked the actual changes.

COVID-19 had multiple impacts on the electric sector and the nature of those impacts varied on the scale analyzed.

Reimagining the United States power grid could save consumers $50 billion a year.

COMPASS points to understanding nature’s transition zones—areas that can be dry land at times and under water at others.

Artificial intelligence-based decision tool enables grid operators to respond more quickly and effectively to grid emergencies.

A new microbial community model reveals previous exposure to hydrologic variation influences a species’ specialized biogeochemical functions.

Detailed characterization of molecules in, under, and along the Columbia River reveal potential mechanisms for biogeochemical cycling.

Integrating hydrogeology and biogeochemistry are required to model the dynamics of geochemical processes occurring in river corridor zones where groundwater and surface water mix.

Theoretical analysis reveals flow variations that happen over longer time periods affect a plume’s spread and center of mass.

Maggie McKeon was honored by fellow coastal and estuarine professionals as the lead author of an outstanding publication in coastal oceanography.

Grid Forward, an industry association dedicated to promoting and accelerating innovation in the regional electric system, honored PNNL's Carl Imhoff with the 2021 Grid Innovator Award.

Principles derived from coastal wetlands to describe wetland channel cross-sections were applicable to the Columbia River estuary, but not the tidal river.

PNNL has released the first version of ExaGO, an open-source grid modeling software that can take advantage of emerging heterogeneous computing architecture to help grid operators plan ahead for extreme events.

Understanding the Earth as a complex, dynamic system includes investigating what happens on, above and below its surface.

An updated version of a widely used database will provide powerful insights into the global carbon cycle.

Variability in field measurement conditions likely does not impact estimates of an important flux in the global carbon cycle.

PNNL physical oceanographer Maggie McKeon will speak February 3 at the U.S. launch meeting for the United Nations’ Ocean Decade. She will present on improving diversity in the Superfund site workforce.

Tools for advancing effective large-scale ecosystem restoration outcomes to maximize both ecological and economic benefits.

Culminating 10 years of study, researchers at PNNL’s Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory developed a new predictive framework for estuarine–tidal river research and management.
