By studying discrete functional components of the soil microbiome at high resolution, researchers obtained a more complete picture of soil diversity compared to analysis of the entire soil community.

Researchers trained deep neural networks to accurately predict microbial interactions captured by fluorescence microscopy.

In this study, researchers probed the ice nucleation ability of different aerosol types by combining 11-year observations from multiple satellites and cloud-resolving model simulations.

PNNL scientists led a study to explore the characteristics of seasonal precipitation changes and investigate the underlying mechanisms, with a focus on clarifying the roles of moisture and circulation in the western U.S.

Scientists at PNNL used an integrated Earth System Model (ESM) and an economically oriented energy-land model to examine how human-natural feedbacks operate under high and medium warming scenarios.

New study provides a key reference for Demeter users and is expected to help reduce uncertainties in downstream hydrologic and Earth system simulations.

To help close the gap between observed and modeled ice-nucleating particles (INPs), researchers simulated concentrations of dust, sea spray, and other types of atmospheric particles within a global atmospheric model.

Researchers at PNNL and the University of Washington examined storms seen by the GPM satellite and found that deep convective storms have been occurring surprisingly frequently at high latitudes during the warm seasons of recent years.

Researchers quantified temperature and gas-cycle responses over time of five simple climate models to impulses of carbon dioxide, methane, and black carbon.

PNNL scientists Larry Berg, Susannah Burrows, Nicholas Ward, and Yun Qian were named among the most outstanding journal reviewers by the American Geophysical Union.

Researchers investigated aerosol impacts on mesoscale convective systems forming under different wind shear conditions.

Two PNNL researchers have been elected to Washington State Academy of Sciences. Two others PNNL scientists join the academy board of directors.

Researchers analyzed the relationship between Earth’s climate sensitivity and historical/future sea level projections, with a particular focus on the high‐impact upper tail.

Their consistency and predictability makes tidal energy attractive, not only as a source of electricity but, potentially, as a mechanism to provide reliability and resilience to regional or local power grids.

A team of researchers discovered more about how sea ice in the Southern Ocean might regulate changes in the amount and location of Antarctic precipitation.
