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

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

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

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.

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

Biochemical preservation and mineral association retain carbon in grassland soils, resulting in consistent molecular composition across ecosystems.

PNNL chemist Ying Zhu was honored as one of the top 40 researchers under the age of 40 in analytical science by The Analytical Scientist.

Secondary organic aerosol formation from monoterpenes is more strongly influenced by oxidant and monoterpene structure than by nitric oxides and hydroperoxy radical concentrations.

Across the United States, water moving between the river and riverbed sediments does not overcome localized processes that govern organic matter chemistry.

The presence of mMarine microorganisms may enhance cloud droplet formation, leading to brighter clouds that reflect more sunlight.
