PNNL researchers evaluated the accuracy of their software system designed to track bird and bat behavior around remote offshore wind turbines.

PNNL deployed two research buoys in waters off the West Coast for the first time in deep water, supporting a DOE and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management effort to gather measurements that support offshore wind locations and technologies.

PNNL scientists are learning how to harness wind to secure a brighter, cleaner energy future.

PNNL ocean engineer Alicia Gorton was invited to serve on the advisory board of the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Ocean Engineering at the Stevens Institute of Technology.

PNNL scientists Larry Berg, Susannah Burrows, Nicholas Ward, and Yun Qian were named among the most outstanding journal reviewers by the American Geophysical Union.

Research buoys managed by PNNL underwent a $1.3-million upgrade that included more powerful lidar that reaches heights of today’s taller wind turbines.

PNNL is managing the Data Archive and Portal, which provides the wind research community with secure, timely, easy, and open access to all data brought in from research under DOE’s Atmosphere to Electrons program.
