The demand for energy is growing—and so is the technology supporting it. However, future development of power generation technologies could be affected by a key factor: material supply.
Accessing groundwater may become more difficult—and more expensive—as groundwater supplies become increasingly scarce and underground aquifer levels fall.
Researchers use models to represent relationships between climate and socio-economic processes, helping inform decisions for slowing climate change and enhancing resilience.
PNNL contributes to 30 years of data on clouds, radiation, and other climate-making factors as part of field campaigns and analysis conducted by DOE's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility.
