His expertise in data science and commitment to open science will drive dataset dissemination and advance collaborative global research efforts.

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

PNNL postdoc Pengfei Shi won first place in the Early Career Researcher Poster Competition at the recently concluded NOAA Subseasonal and Seasonal Applications Workshop.

Data-gathering instruments will be positioned on commercial, ocean-going ships in a Department of Energy-funded project that is expected to improve understanding of marine atmosphere and aerosol–cloud interactions.

New findings document fewer ship tracks, reduced cloud cover, and boosted warming after ship emissions regulations took effect in 2020.

Once thought to cover too little of the Earth’s surface to affect climate at larger scales, new work finds that city sprawl does add to global warming—over land, at least.

A new study suggests accessing groundwater in key regions could become prohibitively expensive as lower-cost stores are used up.

Five PNNL scientists participated in an invitation-only Department of Energy-sponsored workshop on coastal systems. 

New work finds hurricanes are intensifying faster close to the coast—a trend that’s likely to ramp up in a warmer world.

PNNL’s Chris Chini has been named a guest editor of Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability’s special issue examining energy infrastructure vulnerabilities from physical and natural threats.

An energy expert and economist who has played a leading role in formulating and coordinating U.S. climate policy is the new director of the Joint Global Change Research Institute in College Park, Maryland.

A 19-person, multi-institutional national laboratory team received the inaugural Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modeling from the Association for Computing Machinery for their work on more accurately modeling deep convective clouds.

If current warming trends continue, heat waves like Washington's deadliest could grow stronger and afflict the Pacific Northwest more often.

Less pollution and the odd shapes of snow grains as they pack together should help cut the decline of snowpack later this century.

Claudia Tebaldi, a PNNL Earth scientist, has been named a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union. Tebaldi and others will be recognized at AGU23 in December.

Yun Qian was elected to join the ranks of American Meteorological Society Fellows.

Earth Scientist Mingxuan Wu was recognized with an Outstanding Contribution Award for his work on nitrate aerosol modeling in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model.

In a new paper, researchers point to three major efforts where the biggest climate mitigation gains stand to be realized: ramping up carbon dioxide removal, reigning in non-carbon dioxide emissions and halting deforestation.

Four PNNL researchers received highly competitive DOE Early Career Research Program awards, providing five continuous years of funding for their projects.

Using a combination of satellite data and modeling to study the temperatures and humidity people might feel in urban areas, researchers have pinpointed who in the U.S. is most vulnerable to heat stress.
