Researchers analyzed the relationship between Earth’s climate sensitivity and historical/future sea level projections, with a particular focus on the high‐impact upper tail.

A team of researchers discovered more about how sea ice in the Southern Ocean might regulate changes in the amount and location of Antarctic precipitation.

Researchers have developed a new technique to visualize the activity and distribution of enzymes that mobilize phosphate around plant roots.

Soil respiration—the flow of CO2 from the soil surface to the atmosphere—is one of the largest carbon fluxes in the terrestrial biosphere.

Natural and human-driven disturbances are altering the world's forests, increasing tree mortality and reducing ecosystem recovery.

New analysis indicates that emissions from abandoned mines will contribute to higher emissions than previously thought.

Early achievement of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in California brings much larger health benefits than economic cost.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed and continue to maintain a global database of measurements made of soil-to-atmosphere CO2 flows, termed soil respiration.

Nighttime interaction between Bay Area pollution and biogenic isoprene led to efficient formation of secondary organic aerosols.

Agent-based models of water resource management can include the interaction between human-engineered systems and natural processes

A new procedure for estimating sunlight reflection provides insight into feedbacks that affect Arctic warming.

Tower, aircraft, and satellite observations combined to evaluate weather forecast model.

PNNL coastal ecologist Heida Diefenderfer was a featured speaker in February at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable on policy and global affairs.

Tree presence impacts how soils respond to temperature change in coastal forest.

An integrated water model quantifies the impact of water management on thermoelectric power plant generation.

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.
