The Washington State Academy of Sciences consists of more than 300 elected members who are nationally recognized for their scientific and technical expertise.

Federal and industry-matched funding will move 11 technologies closer to commercialization where they could one day help bolster U.S. competitiveness.

A high-resolution dataset captures a more complete view of the global distribution and characteristics of strong storms called mesoscale convective systems.

Rising greenhouse gases and declining aerosols have triggered an approximate four-day delay in rainfall over tropical land and the Sahel.

A research project that brings together mathematicians and atmospheric scientists has developed into a deep collaboration for improving atmospheric models.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm virtually visits PNNL, one of several national lab visits she is conducting.

Scientists have created a cybersecurity technology that stops hackers from doing damage by feeding them illusory tidbits of success.

Easy-to-use web-based version of the “hector” global climate model emulator now available for researchers and Earth science educators.

Study says planners need to account for climate impacts on renewable energy during capacity development planning to fully understand investment implications to the power sector.

Understanding the Earth as a complex, dynamic system includes investigating what happens on, above and below its surface.

For the second straight year, PNNL researchers are featured in a special edition of the Journal of Information Warfare. This issue explores the topic of macro cyber resiliency.

A new study projects that electricity demand tied to cooling U.S. buildings will grow as peak temperatures rise, and so too would the need for an expanded power sector.

Methane emissions from coal mines are likely higher than previously calculated, largely due to emissions from abandoned mines.

Urban landscapes and anthropogenic aerosols have the potential to make gusts stronger, hail larger and even steer storms toward cities.

California and other areas of the U.S. Southwest may see less future winter precipitation than previously projected by climate models, according to new research that corrects for a long-standing model error: the double-ITCZ bias.

Summer internship opportunity at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory leads to new 3-D visualizations of cloud formation.

The effects of too much CO2 can cause clouds covering the oceans to dissipate and be unable to reform.

PNNL researchers investigate the environmental conditions, from soil moisture to surface temperature, that lead to wildfire.

Researchers created an open database to centralize measurements of gas exchange between the soil and the atmosphere.

PNNL researchers developed two web-based tools to assess and mitigate cyberthreats to utilities—inside and outside their firewalls. Both are low cost and can be used by control room operators who are not cybersecurity experts.
