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.
As COVID-19 was limiting in-person contact, halting travel, and creating additional barriers, researchers at PNNL were working to find solutions on how they could still get work done while establishing new safety protocols.
Rey Suarez was the keynote speaker at the Preparatory Commission of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization’s Specialized Technical Meeting on Preventive and Predicative Maintenance of the International Monitoring System.
Water and energy researchers are invited to join a new task force as a way to collaborate broadly on the intersection of the two topics. The task force is part of IEEE's Power and Energy Society and was launched by PNNL and UU researchers.
Brian Milbrath, a physicist in PNNL’s National Security Directorate, was named a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
In a new video series this fall, PNNL is highlighting six scientific and technical experts in the national security domain. Each was promoted to Scientist and Engineer Level 5, one of PNNL’s most senior research roles.
PNNL’s expertise is the foundation for monitoring technology that identifies trace amounts of radioactive materials and determines whether they are indicative of a nuclear explosion.
In recognition of Nuclear Science Week on Oct. 19-23, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reflects on more than half a century of advancing nuclear science for the nation’s energy, environment, and security frontiers.
PNNL has earned “Best Paper” at an international resilience conference for research on hydropower’s capabilities and constraints in the event of extreme events, like hurricanes and rolling blackouts.
Culminating 10 years of study, researchers at PNNL’s Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory developed a new predictive framework for estuarine–tidal river research and management.
PNNL biologists have developed a more efficient way to estimate salmon survival through dams that uses solid science but saves over 42 percent of the cost.
Scientists at PNNL have contributed much of the nuclear science that underlies an international monitoring system designed to detect nuclear explosions worldwide. The system detects radioxenon anywhere on the planet.
A team of researchers is working to expand our uranium chemistry understanding using a surprising tool: lasers. This capability gives never-before-seen insight into uranium gas-phase oxidation during nuclear explosions.
The Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer has honored three innovations at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
PNNL's Sensor Fish were deployed at Ice Harbor Dam to collect data from a new turbine. The data indicates the design changes are making travel through the dam less arduous for fish.
PNNL will provide technical support to finalists in the Incubate stage and to Grand Prize Winners following the Pitch contest stage of the Fish Protection Prize competition, which is now accepting submissions.
