High-resolution hydrodynamic-sediment modeling shows that inundation, suspended sediment concentration in the Amazon River, and floodplain hydrodynamics drive sediment deposition in Amazonian floodplains.

Lakes are important sentinels of climate change and contribute significantly to the emissions of the second most important greenhouse gas—methane.

The rate of conversion of cloud droplets to precipitation, known as the autoconversion rate, remains a major source of uncertainty in characterizing aerosol’s cloud lifetime effects and precipitation in global and regional models.

This study used historical data, remote sensing, and aquatic sensors to measure how far wildfire impacts propagated through the watershed after the 2022 Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon fire, New Mexico’s largest wildfire in history.

The Coastal Observations, Mechanisms, and Predictions Across Systems and Scales: Field, Measurements, and Experiments project established a network of observational field sites across Chesapeake Bay and western Lake Erie.

The prediction of rainfall over the Amazon rainforest by weather and climate models is highly uncertain, particularly for large rainstorms which are commonly seen during the wet season, from March to May.

Extensive in situ and remote sensing measurements were collected to address data gaps and better understand the interactions of convective clouds and the surrounding environment.

To assess the impact of observation period and gauge location, model parameters were learned on scenarios using different chunks of streamflow observations.

Matt Fayette, a materials scientist, is testing a new method to extend battery life for grid storage by circulating the electrolyte.

PNNL scientist James Stegen and an international team of collaborators recently published a comprehensive review of variably inundated ecosystems (VIEs).

PNNL has created and licensed a system that sniffs out trace levels of fentanyl, other drugs and explosives through the air.

Continued studies will deepen scientists’ understanding of virus-host interactions at the molecular level and also pave the way for developing better drugs to fight emerging viruses.

This study presents an automated method to detect and classify open- and closed-cell mesoscale cellular convection (MCC) using long-term ground-based radar observations.

Flexible, high-throughput proteomics approach identifies protein modifications related to pancreatic stress and insulin production.

Directionally biased electrostatic interactions are the key to significantly tuning the reduction potential of iron/sulfur clusters.

A new study led by PNNL researcher TC Chakraborty provides some answers about how irrigated agricultural land near cities affects urban heat stress.

Ampcera has an exclusive licensing agreement with PNNL to commercially develop and license a new battery material for applications such as vehicles and personal electronics.

Scientists map how transitions from day to night control gene regulatory networks in cyanobacteria, revealing key orchestrators of metabolic switching.

Scientists uncover how cyanobacteria's circadian cycle controls carbon and energy metabolism, increasing carbon dioxide-to-bioproducts yields.

Funded by DOE’s Office of Electricity, the GSL at PNNL has been recognized by BCI for accelerating the deployment of grid-ready storage solutions.
