New study identifies crucial factors for more accurate hydrological predictions in the Community Land Model version 5.

Groundwater modeling of irrigation return flow dynamics is important for improving estimates of water availability.

Researchers created the first open-source database of exotic materials eyed for use in quantum applications.

Research from PNNL and the University of Washington demonstrates the extension of the MBE for periodic systems and its use to decompose the lattice energies of different ice polymorphs.

A review describes the latest techniques for simulating hydropower at large scales to inform power grid planning and operations.

Hydropower generation estimated using water proxy data leads to a revision of the nation’s historical seasonal hydropower output.

A new model uses machine learning to project electricity loads across the United States.

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.

Xantheas was one of four professors in 2021/2022 to be selected by the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities for this award.

More realistically representing crops and agricultural practices dramatically improves simulations of carbon and energy exchange.

A combined experimental and computational approach showed that the hydration shell of hydroxide has a four-coordinate binding.

In new work, PNNL researchers find that 10 gigatons of carbon dioxide may need to be pulled from Earth's atmosphere and oceans annually to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. A diverse suite of carbon dioxide removal methods will be key.

A combined experimental and modeling study shows that electronic interactions direct how a metal-organic framework grows.

A scenario approach was used to explore the potential future role of hydropower around the globe considering the multisectoral dynamics of regional energy systems and basin-specific water resources.

A new report, based on a community workshop and literature review, summarizes some of the biggest challenges in understanding and modeling Earth system and human–Earth system dynamics in the Puget Sound region of Washington State.
