New research findings published in Science Advances (November 2022), help explain the progression of Alzheimer-related dementia in each patient. The findings outline a biological classification system that predicts disease severity.

Studying how microorganisms behave in space could facilitate farming in the final frontier and lead to better crops on Earth.

Data-driven experiments can help determine best practices for Random Forest machine learning to predict water quality, particularly nitrate levels.

When wildfires burn in the west, the heat and airborne particles they release inflict stronger rain and larger hail upon central states.

Evaluating the relative roles of soil water stress and vapor pressure deficit at limiting canopy conductance in coupled land-atmosphere simulations.

Silicone wristbands could be more convenient option for collecting exposure data.

Organismal contribution and community interaction drive soil organic matter breakdown by microbes.

The world's current climate pledges won't limit global warming to 1.5 °C. We will overshoot. A new study shows that more ambitious climate pledges could minimize the overshoot.

Understanding why the westerly jets shift poleward in certain seasons and regions but equatorward in others under global warming.

PNNL joint appointee Auroop Ganguly uses data science to study the impacts of climate change.

Earth Scientist Ben Bond-Lamberty joins the Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences as one of three editors.

PNNL’s fall Pathways to Excellence award ceremony celebrated nearly 50 staff for their contributions across science, engineering, operations, and STEM education.

Scientists can detect the virus that causes COVID-19 by using a bubble that spills its contents like a piñata when encountering the virus.

Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can, despite great distance, strengthen storms in downwind states.

Hydrologist Fernando Miralles-Wilhelm will lead the Joint Global Change Research Institute as its director, looking to the future of integrated assessments.

Climate change sets the stage for hurricanes to rapidly intensify faster, bringing wetter storms to the U.S. Atlantic Coast and other coastlines.

Identifying a novel gene function on soil viruses.

Study shows coastal plants are dying from hydraulic failure and carbon starvation.
