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

PNNL teamed with academia and industry to develop a novel zero-emission methane pyrolysis process that produces both hydrogen and high-value carbon solids suitable for an array of manufacturing applications.

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.

PNNL’s newest solvent captures carbon dioxide from power plants for as little as $47.10 per metric ton, marking a significant milestone in the journey to lower the cost of carbon capture.

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

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 researchers have developed a new class of chemistry focused on carbon capture technology and made incremental strides in driving down costs.

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.

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.

Ecosystem feedback fire model opens new investigative pathways into impacts of fire on future climate.

A small collection of naturally interacting soil microbes could enable new studies of community interactions and metabolism.

Community Land Model 5.0 can represent how irrigation influences water, carbon, and nitrogen budgets throughout a highly managed semiarid watershed.

Soil microbial communities produced more water retaining molecules when enriched with insoluble organic carbon, chitin, compared to a soluble carbon source, N-acetylglucosamine.
