Interactions between fronts and the land-sea breeze lead to strong vertical exchange in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers recognized radioactive material transportation expert Matt Feldman with its 2022 Dedicated Service Award.

Steven Smith joins an international team that will evaluate current data and identify what should be included for future climate modeling.

Iron-based fertilizer may stimulate plankton to pull carbon dioxide from the ocean, driving a carbon-negative process.

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

A review article examines a decade of work on the atom-scale process of turning carbon dioxide into stable minerals.

The amount of radiation in a system influences how fast aggregated boehmite particles dissolve.

Earth Scientist Ben Bond-Lamberty joins the Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences as one of three editors.

PNNL’s fall Pathways to Excellence award ceremony celebrated nearly 50 staff for their contributions across science, engineering, operations, and STEM education.

Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

A new web-based tool provides easy-to-understand progress metrics and other data about groundwater cleanup sites overseen by the DOE Office of Environmental Management.

Some rocks can potentially convert injected carbon dioxide into more stable solid minerals. A new review article explores what scientists know about the atom-by-atom process.

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