The Earth system model aerosol-cloud diagnostics package version 1 uses aircraft, ship, and surface measurements to evaluate simulated aerosols in an Earth system model.

A new study shows how organic molecules respond to global change varies according to functional traits and ecological processes.

Updated flexible software generates and optimizes monitoring programs for detecting potential leaks from geological carbon storage with an enhanced user experience.

Tropical cyclones induce sea surface cooling, but their associated heavy rainfall reduces the effect through increased ocean mixing.

As wildfires grow increasingly severe, PNNL researchers are working to slow their spread and mitigate their harmful effects.

EGRASS helps prepare and fortify critical structures to protect against the worst consequences of new hurricanes.

Relaxing the simplifying assumptions in model energy budgets can affect their simulated regional water cycles.

Eight PNNL research papers were recognized by the 2022 Waste Management Symposia as “Papers of Note” and “Superior.” One paper received a Best Oral Paper/Presentation Award.

A novel combination of temperature and four-dimensional geophysical sensors revealed otherwise unseeable hydrologic dynamics below riverbed sediments.

PNNL scientists have proposed an "adaptive site management" cleanup strategy for the Hanford Site's Central Plateau that incorporates a structured, flexible approach to environmental remediation.

Researchers at PNNL are developing a better model of the soil, better representing the atmosphere, and identifying sources of record high rainfall within a model of the Earth system.

An improved model captures the interactions between the U.S. economy, energy, water, and land systems with increased spatial and temporal detail.

Recalibrating both cloud and subgrid representations improves model projections of the base climate, aerosol-cloud interactions, and cloud feedbacks.

A climate change study co-authored by PNNL scientist Hailong Wang inspired an artist to create an exhibit based on the research.

A newly developed tool helps researchers analyze process-level relationships within atmospheric models.

In an invited review article, PNNL researchers examined the literature surrounding modeling and measuring the ice-nucleating particles that help form clouds.

ICON science is a Department of Energy-developed framework to enhance scientific outcomes via more intentional design of research efforts across all domains of science.

The collaboration will further accelerate the science behind radioactively contaminated land management and radioactive waste disposal.

A global warming-induced poleward shift of the westerly jet affects the hydroclimate of the U.S. Midwest differently in the spring and summer.

The COVID-19 pandemic massively disrupted human activities, which caused additional turmoil through regional record rainfall and floods.
