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

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.

Three unused, 48,000-pound stainless steel canisters arrived at PNNL, bringing the chance to deepen research in spent nuclear fuel storage and transportation.

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