Policy changes in power, energy, buildings, and more could help slow global temperature rise, according to a new report with co-authors from PNNL’s Joint Global Change Research Institute.

A new study suggests accessing groundwater in key regions could become prohibitively expensive as lower-cost stores are used up.

New work finds hurricanes are intensifying faster close to the coast—a trend that’s likely to ramp up in a warmer world.

Beyond melting ice and higher temperatures: On Earth Day, scientists consider how climate change will affect national security.

PNNL researchers have used field campaign data to better understand clouds, aerosols, and the interactions between humans and the atmosphere.

Published in Nature Communications, Increased Asian Aerosols Drive a Slowdown of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, identifies the role aerosols over Asia is having on the AMOC, a complex system of currents in the Atlantic Ocean.

The convergence of artificial intelligence, cloud, and high-performance computing to accelerate scientific discovery is the focus of a multi-year collaboration between Microsoft and PNNL.

PNNL has created the Center for AI @PNNL to coordinate the pioneering research of hundreds of scientists working on a range of projects in artificial intelligence.

If current warming trends continue, heat waves like Washington's deadliest could grow stronger and afflict the Pacific Northwest more often.

Input from humans helps when deciding whether to trust the recommendations or decisions of a machine-learning system.

The use of disciplines in pure mathematics can increase the reliability and explainability of machine learning models that “transcend human intuition,” according to PNNL scientists.

Less pollution and the odd shapes of snow grains as they pack together should help cut the decline of snowpack later this century.

In a new paper, researchers point to three major efforts where the biggest climate mitigation gains stand to be realized: ramping up carbon dioxide removal, reigning in non-carbon dioxide emissions and halting deforestation.
