Distributed science is thriving at PNNL, where scientists share data and collaborate with researchers around the world to increase the impact of the work.

As Laboratory Director Steve Ashby pens his last monthly column, he highlights PNNL’s accomplishments with pride and gratitude.

The ability of a storm-resolving weather model to predict the growth of storms over central Argentina was evaluated with data from the Clouds, Aerosols, and Complex Terrain Interactions (CACTI) field campaign in central Argentina.

From vehicles and airplanes to solid-phase processing of metals—how Curt Lavender and his team at PNNL solve industry problems with practical ingenuity.

Atmospheric aerosol particles modulate climate and the Earth’s energy balance by scattering and absorbing sunlight. They also seed clouds, acting as cloud condensation nuclei.

Extensive in situ and remote sensing measurements were collected to address data gaps and better understand the interactions of convective clouds and the surrounding environment.

Brown University professor and PNNL joint appointee was honored for his exceptional work in applied mathematics.

PNNL researchers have published their paper, “Introducing Molecular Hypernetworks for Discovery in Multidimensional Metabolomics Data,” in the Journal of Proteome Research.

The Center for Continuum Computing at PNNL aims to integrate cloud platforms, high-performance computing, and edge devices into a seamless ecosystem that accelerates scientific discovery.

Formal mathematics both reveals what’s inside the black box of AI algorithms and pushes the boundary of what’s possible within math as a discipline.

Federal environmental permitting process to be fast-tracked with AI-powered tools and cloud-supported data analysis.
