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

PNNL experts perform fundamental climate science work at multiple scales to understand impacts on energy, water, food, and infrastructure systems.

COMPASS points to understanding nature’s transition zones—areas that can be dry land at times and under water at others.

The newly created ICON Science Cooperative is a resource enabling an innovative approach to science to generate transferable knowledge and increase equity.

Extreme sea levels will become 100 times more frequent by the end of the century around the world, according to a new study.

A new study shows that, when starved, some trees turn to self-digestion before dialing down energy storage.

A new research partnership between PNNL and the University of Nevada, Reno aims to tackle critical challenges such as climate change, infrastructure resilience and cybersecurity.
