Earth scientist Jiwen Fan appointed to a four-year term as an editor of the Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems handling atmosphere papers.

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

Current representations of shallow clouds in climate models have biases that lead to inaccuracies in models.

PNNL-developed Water Balance Tool estimates consumption for major water end-uses. Understanding the breakout of water use identifies water efficiency opportunities and allows facility managers to spot potential system losses.

Bin Zhao was appointed as an associate editor to both Geophysical Research Letters and Frontiers in Environmental Science.

A new process-oriented diagnostic approach provides new insights into simulated storms and their environments.

Demonstrating methods for using a portable optical particle spectrometer, a miniaturized and highly sensitive instrument, to measure atmospheric aerosol size distributions.

PNNL seismologist Hunter Knox has been named general chairperson of the Geothermal Rising Conference.

Satellite observations provide insight into the processes that control the spatial distributions of dust in global climate models.

Ruby Leung was awarded the Jacob Bjerknes Lectureship to honor her contributions to “advancing the basic understanding of the atmosphere and Earth’s climate.”

Scientists discovered that a warming climate delays monsoonal rain, but only over land.

Introducing a publicly available and global gridded high-resolution land use dataset based on diverse future socioeconomic and climate scenarios.

Methane emissions from coal mines are likely higher than previously calculated, largely due to emissions from abandoned mines.

Regional climate models reveal irrigation’s role in strong precipitation and low-level winds across the Central United States.

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.

Comparing large datasets from coordinated aircraft flights provides critical information about data researcher use in a range of analyses.

Buildings account for around 40 percent of our nation's energy use and consume 75 percent of our nation’s electricity each year. Energy use is also one of the biggest costs for facility owners.

Urbanization-induced land cover and anthropogenic aerosol changes result in stronger thunderstorms with enhanced precipitation in the Houston area.

Researchers propose and test foundational concepts for the new subdiscipline of “meta-metabolome ecology.”

The Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory (MCRL), part of PNNL, in Sequim, Washington, is the U.S. Department of Energy’s only marine research facility. It has a rich history and expanding research scope.
