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.
Aerosol particles imbue climate models with uncertainty. New work by PNNL researchers reveals where in the world and under what conditions new particles are born.
Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.
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.
An analysis of land use in watersheds that supply drinking water to over a hundred United States cities identified a wide range of exposure to potential contamination.
PNNL researchers have uncovered a plant-derived process that leads to the formation of aerosol particles over the Amazon rainforest and potentially other forested parts of the world.
To improve the study of human-Earth interactions, a 10-year vision report by the MultiSector Dynamics community of practice encourages the use of emerging human systems datasets, embedded intelligence in modeling, and workforce diversity.
