PNNL researchers explore the feasibility of using low-flying drones to survey sites for low levels of radiation.

New research finds that global warming will bring stronger and more frequent hurricanes to U.S. coasts, up by a third compared to current levels.

In new work, PNNL researchers find that 10 gigatons of carbon dioxide may need to be pulled from Earth's atmosphere and oceans annually to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. A diverse suite of carbon dioxide removal methods will be key.

Extreme winter storms are growing wetter and changing shape in the Western United States—such changes could compromise infrastructure designed to withstand only so much water.

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.

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

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

As wildfires grow increasingly severe, PNNL researchers are working to slow their spread and mitigate their harmful effects.

EGRASS helps prepare and fortify critical structures to protect against the worst consequences of new hurricanes.

Top scientists and officials from government, academia, Alaskan Native communities, and industry are heading to Alaska to focus on driving energy technologies for a more sustainable Arctic region.

PNNL experts perform fundamental climate science work at multiple scales to understand impacts on energy, water, food, and infrastructure systems.

Through the Net Zero World Initiative, expertise from DOE national laboratories will be harnessed to put global net zero within reach.

A new model offers more accurate predictions of how intensely hurricanes may strike.

PNNL combines AI and cloud computing with damage assessment tool to predict path of wildfires and quickly evaluate the impact of natural disasters, giving first responders an upper hand.
