PNNL researchers have uncovered a plant-derived process that leads to the formation of aerosol particles over the Amazon rainforest and potentially other forested parts of the world.
Combining aircraft measurements and regional modeling allowed researchers to identify the role of in-plant biochemistry in secondary organic aerosol formation.
Recognizing how innovation and clean technologies at the very edge of the grid can work together to transition the electricity system, PNNL takes a multidisciplinary approach to advancing and integrating renewable energy solutions.
Moving toward a deeper understanding of the influence of large marine biogenic particles on cloud ice formation by combining modeling and observational data.
The rapid growth of urban nanoparticles via the condensation of organic vapors substantially alters shallow cloud formation and suppresses precipitation.
PNNL scientists developed a new, tiny battery and tag to track younger, smaller species, to evaluate behavior and estimate survival during downstream migration.
Study says planners need to account for climate impacts on renewable energy during capacity development planning to fully understand investment implications to the power sector.
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.
