A trio of PNNL scientists presented new findings about their research on carbon capture Monday, dominating a session on the topic at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society.

If the frequency of droughts increases, the time between droughts likely won't be long enough for trees to recover.

PNNL's ThermalTracker software analyzes video with night vision, the same technology that helps soldiers see in the dark, to help offshore wind power be bird- and bat-friendly.

Jiwen Fan has been selected to receive a 2017 Early Career Research Program award from the U.S. Department of Energy and will use the award to study severe thunderstorms in the central United States.

Deeper understanding of pore size in MOFs is "cool."

Ruby Leung, an expert on some of the most basic processes that influence our planet, has been named a Battelle Fellow – the highest recognition from Battelle for leadership and accomplishment in science.

For 25 years, the Southern Great Plains observatory of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Climate Research Facility has produced data allowing scientists to better understand our planet.

Scientists have improved our ability to interpret one of the most common measures of the temperature of Earth's oceans in the distant past.

PNNL is studying the movement of lamprey fish, which are culturally and historically important to the Pacific Northwest, on rivers and through hydroelectric dams.

Emissions of isoprene, a compound from plant matter that wields great influence in the atmosphere, are up to three times higher in the Amazon rainforest than scientists have thought.

The May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens clouded the Pacific Northwest prompted a trove of research for some PNNL scientists.

Clouds in the eastern North Atlantic region will come under scrutiny from a bevy of airplane-based instruments this summer as scientists analyze the physical and chemical properties of clouds and aerosols.

Man-made pollution in eastern China's cities worsens when less dust blows in from the Gobi Desert, according to a new study in Nature Communications.

Organic matter found in vast quantities in oxygen-starved floodplains would yield only minimal energy for hungry microorganisms, which spurn the meal, researchers show in a study in Nature Geoscience.

Small particles of pollution and dust make clouds brighter, and now scientists have figured out a way to better use data to improve our understanding of how this process affects the planet's climate.

High concentrations of tiny pollution particles can invigorate cloud formation and boost snowfall on mountains, according to a new study.
