Accessing groundwater may become more difficult—and more expensive—as groundwater supplies become increasingly scarce and underground aquifer levels fall.

A team of researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory developed a new and flexible software tool called “Advanced Spectra PCA Toolbox.”

Once thought to cover too little of the Earth’s surface to affect climate at larger scales, new work finds that city sprawl does add to global warming—over land, at least.

New research sheds light on the biomolecular dangers of night shift work.

A new study suggests accessing groundwater in key regions could become prohibitively expensive as lower-cost stores are used up.

Five PNNL scientists participated in an invitation-only Department of Energy-sponsored workshop on coastal systems. 

New work finds hurricanes are intensifying faster close to the coast—a trend that’s likely to ramp up in a warmer world.

Vigorous exercise burns fat more in males than in females, but the benefits of exercise are broad for both sexes.

PNNL contributes to a nationwide research consortium investigating the molecular mechanisms triggered by endurance training.

Beyond melting ice and higher temperatures: On Earth Day, scientists consider how climate change will affect national security.

Three PNNL-affiliated researchers have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society.

Sequencing of microbiome and characterization of metabolome revealed significantly different functions of fine root systems from four temperate tree species in a 26-year-old common garden forest.

Data reveals mechanisms in our bodies that can help us fight viral pathogenesis.

PNNL researchers have used field campaign data to better understand clouds, aerosols, and the interactions between humans and the atmosphere.

Scott Baker, the Functional and Systems Biology Group leader at PNNL, has been named to the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering's Class of 2024 Fellows.

Scientists have learned more about how to protect the insulin-producing cells that die in patients with Type 1 diabetes.

PNNL researchers helped identify a fragment from the SARS-CoV-2 virus that spurs severe illness.

Pacific Northwest may face increase in summer heat-dome-like stationary waves.

Scientists have learned more about how drug resistance develops in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and how the process might be slowed.

PNNL scientists developed a new method to map exactly how a fungus works with leafcutter ants in a complex microbial community to degrade plant material at the molecular level. The team’s insights are important for biofuels development.
