ThermalTracker-3D can help streamline permitting, reduce costs, and shorten development time of energy projects.

Researchers have developed the first coastal transport model for microplastics to understand how particles move in waterways and coastal currents.

Expanding the nation’s largest wind power plant time series database; helping grid planners navigate a resilient energy future with better data.

Engineers at PNNL devised a system that allows radar antennae to maintain stable orientation while mounted on platforms in open water that pitch and roll unpredictably. They were recently invited to participate in DOE's I-Corps program.

A new study led by PNNL researcher TC Chakraborty provides some answers about how irrigated agricultural land near cities affects urban heat stress.

A new report details the potential for floating offshore wind to lower energy costs and enhance the resilience of the nation’s western grid.

RemPlex and IAEA convene international leaders to tackle recruitment and retention in complex environmental cleanup efforts.

PNNL's accomplishments in FY 2024 help address the remaining challenges the wind industry faces.

New datasets delineating global urban land support scientific research, application, and policy, but they can produce different results when applied to the same problem making it difficult for researchers to decide which to use.

PNNL was well represented at the NAWEA/WindTech 2024 Conference with 13 PNNL experts at the conference sponsored by the North American Wind Energy Academy.

Knowing future snow levels is key for managing the recovery of endangered bighorn sheep. PNNL scientists help to forecast how the sheep could fare.

PNNL Earth scientist Alison Delgado will serve as an author for the “Science of Response Management” chapter of the Sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA6.)

A new study reveals just how costly Earth's tipping points can be.

The demand for energy is growing—and so is the technology supporting it. However, future development of power generation technologies could be affected by a key factor: material supply.

Mengqi Zhao and Chris Vernon were selected to serve in editorial roles at JOSS for Earth science and data science, respectively.

Latest Distributed Wind Market Report helps the Department of Energy identify market trends and new opportunities for distributed wind power projects.

The Delaware River Basin is projected to experience a regional increase in flood severity under future climate scenarios.

Three PNNL technologies have been named 2024 R&D 100 Award winners.

With the launch of a large research barge, PNNL and collaborators took another significant step to improve offshore wind forecasting that will lower risk and cost associated with offshore wind energy development.

Researchers found that in a future where the Great Plains are 4 to 6 degrees Celsius (°C) warmer as projected in a high-emission scenario, these storms could bring three times more intense rainfall.
