New estimates show that coastlines around the world will experience an increase in the frequency of extreme sea level events at a range of global warming levels.
PNNL paper in Nuclear Technology journal unveils modeling possibilities for TRISO used fuel, implications for reactor planning, and resulting carbon-free nuclear energy.
The Triton Initiative supports projects funded through U.S. Department of Energy funding opportunity announcements developing environmental monitoring technologies for marine energy.
Knowing which bacteria in a community are involved with carbon cycling could help scientists predict how microbial carbon storage and release could influence future climate dynamics.
IDREAM study characterizes chemical species and mechanisms that control aluminum salt and mineral crystallization for nuclear waste retrieval, processing.
Differences in background moisture transport explain how climate variability modes influence the frequency of landfalling atmospheric rivers and their corresponding precipitation.
Examining flood occurrences associated with mesoscale convective systems and their characteristics allows researchers to explore climate-flood linkages.
Researchers developed two solutions for air-conditioning—a novel, energy-efficient dehumidification system and a technology to detect refrigerant leaks. Both help increase energy-efficiency and reduce costs.
The most polluted U.S. communities from five years ago are still the most polluted today, 50 years after passage of the Clean Air Act amendments of 1970.
New study elucidates the complex relaxation kinetics of supercooled water using a pulsed laser heating technique at previously inaccessible temperatures.
