On World Oceans Day, an international team of marine scientists reports that the potential impact of marine renewable energy to marine life is likely small or undetectable, though some uncertainty remains.
In a recent review article, an interdisciplinary team of researchers led by PNNL biogeochemist Nick Ward proposed a path to refining the representation of coastal interfaces in Earth systems models used to predict climate.
Sam Chatterjee, a senior operations research scientist at PNNL, was recently appointed as associate editor for the specialty section, “Water and the Built Environment” at the peer-reviewed, open access journal Frontiers in Water.
Two PNNL researchers are helping define the future of transparency and accountability for public and private use of autonomous and intelligent systems.
With the help of a diagnostic tool called the Salish Sea Model, researchers found that toxic contaminant hotspots in the Puget Sound are tied to localized lack of water circulation and cumulative effects from multiple sources.
PNNL researchers Lisa Bramer and Sarah Reehl were on a team that received a patent for its work with electron microscopy. Electron microscopy allows scientists to make nanoscale observations of materials.
PNNL coastal ecologist Heida Diefenderfer was a featured speaker in February at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable on policy and global affairs.
Bill Cannon, senior scientist and biophysicist in the Computational Mathematics Group, was a co-author of a recent article published in Nature Partner Journals-Digital Medicine.
A new book by PNNL biochemist Erick Merkley details forensic proteomics, a technique that directly analyzes proteins in unknown samples, in pursuit of making proteomics a widespread forensic method when DNA is missing or ambiguous.
PNNL Emeritus Scientist Ronald Thom received the 2019 Environmental Leadership Award at the Northwest Straits Marine Conservation Initiative Conference.
Researchers at PNNL are contributing artificial intelligence, machine learning, and app development expertise to a U of W project that will ease challenges with urban freight delivery. The project will provide delivery drivers with a tool
Advancing a more collective understanding of coastal systems dynamics and evolution is a formidable scientific challenge. PNNL is meeting the challenge head on to inform decisions for the future.
In today’s digital age, the rabbit hole of connected information can be not only a time sink, but downright overwhelming. Even for high-performance computers.
Francesca Grogan grew up in Southern California, gravitated to competitive swimming, and chose to stay close to her geographical roots for her undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
The inner Salish Sea’s future response to climate change, while significant, is predicted to be less severe than that of the open ocean based on parameters like algal blooms, ocean acidification, and annual occurrences of hypoxia.
Three PNNL fish researchers recently published a video journal article on how to properly implant miniature acoustic tags in juvenile Pacific lamprey and American eel and how the tags could benefit migration.
A study co-led by PNNL and reviewed in Science investigates how nanomaterials—both ancient and modern—cycle through the Earth’s air, water, and land, and calls for a better understanding of how they affect the environment and human health.
