Soil texture and environmental history play a strong role in how different soils respond to moisture extremes like drought and flood.

Researchers used instruments in an airborne lab to characterize aerosol particles and their sources over the remote Eastern North Atlantic.

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

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.

Svitlana Volkova uses natural language processing and AI to reveal how misinformation and disinformation spread through social media.

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.

Machine learning techniques are accelerating the development of stronger alloys for power plants, which will yield efficiency, cost, and decarbonization benefits.

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.

New research aids the design of more efficient water purification technologies.

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

Svitlana Volkova, chief scientist for decision intelligence and analytics at PNNL, was invited as a panelist at the SIAM International Conference on Data Mining

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