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.

Michael Tillou, a senior buildings research engineer at PNNL, has been honored with an ASHRAE Distinguished Service Award.

Research shows that previous drought and flooding conditions strongly influence soil respiration and carbon composition.

Principles derived from coastal wetlands to describe wetland channel cross-sections were applicable to the Columbia River estuary, but not the tidal river.

Understanding the fundamental relationships between river flow, water exchange, and nutrient cycling can inform ecosystem effects of river regulation.

Scientists at PNNL and the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation identify acres of spawning habitat in the Upper Columbia River.

This is a story of how Nikki Sather's career journey studying the pulse of the Pacific Northwest's ecosystems began with a salmon's heartbeat. Sather currently works as an earth scientist at PNNL's Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory.

Understanding the Earth as a complex, dynamic system includes investigating what happens on, above and below its surface.

Niri Govind and Amity Andersen co-hosted a workshop to explain how to use theory and modeling in the interpretation of X-ray absorption spectroscopy data.

Variability in field measurement conditions likely does not impact estimates of an important flux in the global carbon cycle.

PNNL researchers simulated residential battery use and found in-home energy storage can benefit both the power grid and homeowners.

PNNL physical oceanographer Maggie McKeon will speak February 3 at the U.S. launch meeting for the United Nations’ Ocean Decade. She will present on improving diversity in the Superfund site workforce.

Researchers propose and test foundational concepts for the new subdiscipline of “meta-metabolome ecology.”

PNNL has published a report that sets the foundation for modeling gaps and technical challenges in optimizing hydropower operations for both energy production and water management.

Microbiome and soil chemistry characterization at long-term bioenergy research sites challenges idea that switchgrass increases carbon accrual in surface soils of marginal lands.

PNNL researchers investigate the environmental conditions, from soil moisture to surface temperature, that lead to wildfire.

New biogeochemical modeling uses high-resolution mass spectrometry data to reveal how organic matter thermodynamics affect ecosystems across scales.

The map fills in a portion of the study site missing from sampling studies and enables a better understanding of hydrological dynamics in a complex river corridor.

PNNL researchers say that offshore wind energy can add value to the electric grid, beyond just the power it can produce, if locations and strategies are optimized.

This committee represents the country’s soil science community in the International Union of Soil Sciences, advises The National Academies, and communicates with professional societies and organizations.
