The methods researchers use to estimate crop yield gaps determines the location of projected future agricultural “breadbasket” regions.

Interactions between fronts and the land-sea breeze lead to strong vertical exchange in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Steven Smith joins an international team that will evaluate current data and identify what should be included for future climate modeling.

Iron-based fertilizer may stimulate plankton to pull carbon dioxide from the ocean, driving a carbon-negative process.

Data-driven experiments can help determine best practices for Random Forest machine learning to predict water quality, particularly nitrate levels.

When wildfires burn in the west, the heat and airborne particles they release inflict stronger rain and larger hail upon central states.

Evaluating the relative roles of soil water stress and vapor pressure deficit at limiting canopy conductance in coupled land-atmosphere simulations.

The world's current climate pledges won't limit global warming to 1.5 °C. We will overshoot. A new study shows that more ambitious climate pledges could minimize the overshoot.

Understanding why the westerly jets shift poleward in certain seasons and regions but equatorward in others under global warming.

Scientists can detect the virus that causes COVID-19 by using a bubble that spills its contents like a piñata when encountering the virus.

Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can, despite great distance, strengthen storms in downwind states.

Climate change sets the stage for hurricanes to rapidly intensify faster, bringing wetter storms to the U.S. Atlantic Coast and other coastlines.
