Unveiling diverse scenarios and implications for water resource management in a rapidly changing world.

PNNL scientists are creating new ways to learn more about the vast sea of chemicals that haven't been identified—yet.

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.

Computational chemistry libraries from NWChem, NWChemEX, SPEC, and more are now available on Azure Quantum Elements.

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

Advances in understanding the nature of the chemical bond are featured in this special issue of The Journal of Chemical Physics.

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.

Mesoscale convective systems that are clustered in time and space have broader impacts on flooding than individual systems.
