PNNL's McDearis and Rod designed a new device—a porous soil stake—that, once installed, enables repeated sampling of a specific soil site at multiple depths, without further disrupting the soil.

Secretary Granholm praises heat pump workforce development efforts at this year's instructor training program.

Francesca Pierobon holds a joint appointment with UW and WSU to advance low-carbon technologies.

This study evaluated the sensitivity of multiple geophysical methods to measure and evaluate the spatiotemporal variability of select soil properties across terrestrial–aquatic interfaces.

Researchers integrated field measurements, lab experiments, and model simulations to study oxygen consumption dynamics in soils along a coastal gradient.

This research explores how changes in groundwater levels affect the chemistry of underground water, especially in areas where land meets water, like wetlands.

Lauren Charles, a chief data scientist at PNNL, has been named an affiliate member of Global One Health Academy at North Carolina State University.

Scientists plumbed the depths of nearly 3,000 soil samples from around the globe to compile the heftiest atlas of soil viruses ever created.

The Pacific Northwest Association of Toxicologists (PANWAT) presented its annual Toxicology Achievement Award to Katrina Waters at the Society of Toxicology Pacific Northwest Chapter Meeting, held in Lynnwood, Washington, on September 30th.

A cross-institutional team of scientists developed PeakQC, a new software tool for automated quality control of mass spectrometry data.

This study examined the role of river sinuosity using computer models to understand what drives hyporheic exchange, a process that significantly affects water quality and ecosystem health.

PNNL biodefense experts seek to identify, understand and mitigate the risks of biological pathogens—whether naturally occurring or intentionally created—so steps can be taken to prepare and respond.

PNNL researchers are exploring the kinds of flicker waveforms that the eye and brain can detect, seeking to understand the different visual and non-visual effects that result.

Three PNNL researchers will receive five continuous years of funding for projects through highly competitive DOE Early Career Research Program awards.

Neeraj Kumar discusses how AI can transform scientific research at the Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing Conference and Trillion Parameter Consortium European Workshop.

From enhancing biofuel crops to setting up automated experiments and improving energy storage—interns at PNNL are making an impact.

Despite the widespread presence of RNA viruses in soils, little is known about the relative contributions and interactions of biological and environmental factors shaping the composition of soil RNA viral communities.

Early life exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), found in smoke, has been linked to developmental problems. To study the impacts of these pollutants, PAH metabolism in infants and adults were compared.

PNNL has developed a decision tool that provides contractors and installers with the information they need to properly select and install cold climate heat pumps, which are a key technology for achieving decarbonization.
