Leung was honored for pioneering approaches in climate modeling, discovering unexpected impacts of regional climate change, and understanding extreme weather events and their future changes.
New estimates show that coastlines around the world will experience an increase in the frequency of extreme sea level events at a range of global warming levels.
Rotational Hammer Riveting, developed by PNNL, joins dissimilar materials quickly without preheating rivets. The friction-based riveting enables use of lightweight magnesium rivets and also works on aluminum and speeds manufacturing.
A discovery from PNNL and Washington State University could help reduce the amount of expensive material needed to treat vehicle exhaust by making the most of every precious atom.
Differences in background moisture transport explain how climate variability modes influence the frequency of landfalling atmospheric rivers and their corresponding precipitation.
Sherman Beus, software engineer, Katie Dorsey, communications team writer and editor, and Brian Ermold, data ingest manager, receive 2021 Atmospheric Radiation Measurement User Facility Service Awards.
Examining flood occurrences associated with mesoscale convective systems and their characteristics allows researchers to explore climate-flood linkages.
A new report led by PNNL identifies the top 13 most promising waste- and biomass-derived diesel blendstocks for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, other pollutants, and overall system costs.
Researchers developed two solutions for air-conditioning—a novel, energy-efficient dehumidification system and a technology to detect refrigerant leaks. Both help increase energy-efficiency and reduce costs.
The most polluted U.S. communities from five years ago are still the most polluted today, 50 years after passage of the Clean Air Act amendments of 1970.
