PNNL-Sequim scientists will spend the next year testing a new technology that could allow the ocean to soak up more carbon dioxide without contributing to ocean acidification.

This study demonstrated that a large-scale flooding experiment in coastal Maryland, USA, aiming to understand how freshwater and saltwater floods may alter soil biogeochemical cycles and vegetation in a deciduous coastal forest.

Algae can collect and concentrate rare earth metals from seawater—an alternative to imported sources mined from the ground.

PNNL researchers teamed up with marine energy developers to test a new wave energy conversion device through the TEAMER program.

Future global warming-induced changes to watershed and coastal processes can significantly affect the magnitude of fluvial-coastal compound flooding.

A new model improves the representations of river networks in climate models across scales.

New research finds that global warming will bring stronger and more frequent hurricanes to U.S. coasts, up by a third compared to current levels.

PNNL’s Katie Arkema was selected to be on NASEM committee focused on public health and conservation.

PNNL Earth scientist Nick Ward has been recognized as a 2022 fellow of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography.

Researchers found that specific landscape metrics consistently outperform traditional population downscaling methods.

PNNL is making waves in pursuit of a blue economy. Researchers are advancing science and technology to expand—and protect—the gifts of the sea.

New PNNL-developed nanogenerator harnesses the renewable energy in ocean waves to power sensors that provide critical weather and wave information.

PNNL-Sequim team wins ESTCP Project of the Year for their work supporting underwater munition remediation.

Interactions between fronts and the land-sea breeze lead to strong vertical exchange in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

New research findings published in Science Advances (November 2022), help explain the progression of Alzheimer-related dementia in each patient. The findings outline a biological classification system that predicts disease severity.

Iron-based fertilizer may stimulate plankton to pull carbon dioxide from the ocean, driving a carbon-negative process.

Data-driven experiments can help determine best practices for Random Forest machine learning to predict water quality, particularly nitrate levels.

Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

Climate change sets the stage for hurricanes to rapidly intensify faster, bringing wetter storms to the U.S. Atlantic Coast and other coastlines.

PNNL chemist Ying Zhu was honored as one of the top 40 researchers under the age of 40 in analytical science by The Analytical Scientist.
