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.

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.”

Marine scientist Joe Haxel leads Triton Field Trials research studying methods to monitor underwater noise associated with marine energy systems.

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.

Long term power grid planning needs to consider regional dependencies in climate adaption plans.

Rigorous mathematical methods can help avoid unnecessary simplifications in numerical models of atmospheric clouds.

More accurate methods provide better results in numerical simulations of atmospheric clouds by avoiding accidental contradictions.

PNNL has published a report that sets the foundation for modeling gaps and technical challenges in optimizing hydropower operations for both energy production and water management.

Despite the challenges, the talented and dedicated staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory kept delivering for the nation.

Washington and Oregon coastlines hold most promising areas to pull power from West Coast waves, according to a recent study on wave energy.

Urban landscapes and anthropogenic aerosols have the potential to make gusts stronger, hail larger and even steer storms toward cities.

A code comparison study demonstrates a leap in the accuracy and reliability of modeling gas hydrate for the discovery and production of natural gas.

California and other areas of the U.S. Southwest may see less future winter precipitation than previously projected by climate models, according to new research that corrects for a long-standing model error: the double-ITCZ bias.
