PNNL gathered researchers from eight national laboratories plus the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to share ideas and build synergy at the Energy Equity and Environmental Justice Summit.

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

A review article examines a decade of work on the atom-scale process of turning carbon dioxide into stable minerals.

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

Some rocks can potentially convert injected carbon dioxide into more stable solid minerals. A new review article explores what scientists know about the atom-by-atom process.

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

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.

Two case studies of clouds evolving over the Arctic provide data that will help researchers evaluate cloud simulations.

Evaluating the accuracy of predicted plant aboveground biomass with different numerical solution options in a model of water transport in plants.

How hailstorms respond to human-created warming in the Great Plains depends on large-scale weather-producing systems.

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

Observational evidence shows that clouds strongly influence the seasonal heat exchange between Southern Ocean air and sea.

Both the type and composition of landforms affect atmospheric properties and clouds in a state-of-the-art Earth system model.

Microbes and viruses play key roles in carbon and nitrogen cycling in riverbed sediments.

Proteins from “auxiliary” genes in soil viruses play a role in the carbon cycle and climate, scientists have found.

Qiu Yang begins a one-year term as an associate editor of the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences.

Anthropogenically forced evolution of the leading neutral mode explains historical trends in global surface temperature, lending confidence to regional projections related to modes.
