PNNL postdoctoral fellow Jon Sampedro appointed as an individual expert to a WHO technical advisory group on air pollution and health

Three recent doctoral graduates are beginning their research careers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory after completing the WSU-PNNL Distinguished Graduate Research Program this spring.

Seeking a deeper understanding of when, where, and why large wildfires occur using explainable artificial intelligence.

Urban pollution greatly increases the number of particles over the Amazon, mainly through new particle formation controlled by biogenic gases.

A high-resolution dataset captures a more complete view of the global distribution and characteristics of strong storms called mesoscale convective systems.

Rising greenhouse gases and declining aerosols have triggered an approximate four-day delay in rainfall over tropical land and the Sahel.

PNNL combines AI and cloud computing with damage assessment tool to predict path of wildfires and quickly evaluate the impact of natural disasters, giving first responders an upper hand.

At PNNL, women in engineering tackle some of the world’s most complex problems in environmental science, sustainable energy, and national security.

PNNL provided ultra-low measurements of argon-39 to date groundwater as part of a collaborative study of the aquifer in California’s San Joaquin Valley. PNNL is one of only a few laboratories worldwide with this capability.

Research shows that previous drought and flooding conditions strongly influence soil respiration and carbon composition.

PNNL’s Framework for Assessment of Complex Environmental Tradeoffs helps navigate and evaluate competing environmental, economic, and social impacts.

Research shows that erosional nutrient fluxes linked to extreme rains may complicate efforts to reduce nutrient enrichment in the Gulf of Mexico.

A research project that brings together mathematicians and atmospheric scientists has developed into a deep collaboration for improving atmospheric models.

New research shows that a warmer ocean strengthens the North Pacific westerly jet stream, steering more storms toward California.

Researchers found that using deep neural networks can significantly enhance the resolution of observations from weather radars.

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

Field campaign data shows that biologically-derived emissions largely control the formation of organic aerosol in the Southern Great Plains.

Researchers found that warmer local sea surfaces increase the winter snowpack in the Sierra Nevada mountains, but reduce snowpack in the Cascade range.

Eleven scientists with PNNL affiliations named as top climate scientists on a Reuters list.

Researchers developed a novel database of global mesoscale convective systems to reveal storm characteristics and rainfall contributions.
