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.

Beyond melting ice and higher temperatures: On Earth Day, scientists consider how climate change will affect national security.

PNNL researchers have used field campaign data to better understand clouds, aerosols, and the interactions between humans and the atmosphere.

Pacific Northwest may face increase in summer heat-dome-like stationary waves.

PNNL study explored multiple factors that could impact future snowpack—a critical source of water for communities, irrigation and energy generation.

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.

Earth Scientist Laura Fierce mentors Department of Energy Science Graduate Student Research program awardees.

Researchers at PNNL joined more than 600 national experts who contributed to NCA5.

The new PTM-Psi workflow opens the door for uncovering molecular insights within proteomics datasets.

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

Researchers use models to represent relationships between climate and socio-economic processes, helping inform decisions for slowing climate change and enhancing resilience.

Jingyi Chen and Claudia Tebaldi honored as outstanding reviewers by the American Geophysical Union.

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.

Variations in the level of market globalization can greatly affect the amount of water required to meet future global demand for agricultural commodities.

Climate change and socioeconomic pressures are transforming passenger and freight transportation in the Arctic, producing effects that have yet to be fully understood.

Scientists developed a process (or pipeline) that combined molecular probes—a specific chemical that binds to microbes carrying out a particular function—with a method that isolated these cells from their complex community.

Scientists screen for nanobodies that recognize wild type and mutant functional proteins to develop a framework to disrupt protein interactions that can cause disease.
