Scientists created a benchmark dataset and explored new algorithms to better predict changes in the intensity of North Atlantic tropical cyclones.

Researchers quantified the contributions of four different types of convective storms to summer extreme precipitation in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Researchers at PNNL examined heat pump water heater (HPWH) operation in Pacific Northwest residences, gaining insights into HPWH electricity use patterns. Part of the study captured trends during a COVID-19 stay-at-home order.

Knowing which bacteria in a community are involved with carbon cycling could help scientists predict how microbial carbon storage and release could influence future climate dynamics.

PNNL's Christer Jansson is retiring in October after 43 years in biochemistry and plant biology.

Extreme sea levels will become 100 times more frequent by the end of the century around the world, according to a new study.

Atmospheric Scientist Beat Schmid helped develop a report assessing the scientific need for a new large aircraft at NASA.

Tomorrow’s scientific leaders gain real-world experience contributing to PNNL’s research and development.

PNNL’s Mike Hochella receives Geochemical Society’s Patterson Award and ACS Geochemistry medal for discovery of toxic particles produced during coal combustion.

An analysis of Panamanian forests found two different sets of correlating hydraulics traits in tropical trees.

Laboratory fellow title given to those who have reached the top of their field and earned international recognition from peers.

Differences in background moisture transport explain how climate variability modes influence the frequency of landfalling atmospheric rivers and their corresponding precipitation.

Sherman Beus, software engineer, Katie Dorsey, communications team writer and editor, and Brian Ermold, data ingest manager, receive 2021 Atmospheric Radiation Measurement User Facility Service Awards.

A new study shows that, when starved, some trees turn to self-digestion before dialing down energy storage.

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

Examining flood occurrences associated with mesoscale convective systems and their characteristics allows researchers to explore climate-flood linkages.

Large ensemble simulations show that aerosols can significantly modify the predictability of hail and precipitation in hailstorms.

PNNL researchers are forming a clearer picture of how plant matter is transformed in the microbial gardens created by leaf-cutter ants.

PNNL researcher Erol Cromwell uses neural networks to elucidate subsurface permeability.

Researchers developed two solutions for air-conditioning—a novel, energy-efficient dehumidification system and a technology to detect refrigerant leaks. Both help increase energy-efficiency and reduce costs.
