Soil microbial communities are made of networks of interacting species that dynamically reorganize in a changing environment. Understanding how such microbiomes are organized in nature is important for designing or controlling them in the f

Soil microbiomes are among the most diverse microbial communities on Earth. They also play an immense role in cycling soil carbon, nitrogen, and other nutrients that underpin the terrestrial food web.

Researchers from PNNL modeled aerosols on a 1-kilometer scale—on par with clouds—for the first time in a global climate model using the new multi-scale modeling framework.

Small increases in irrigated and rainfed crop production across regions where water remains plentiful could help keep food shelves stocked worldwide.

A new data system—gcamdata—with its robust, clear, and easy-to-use application, was developed to be applied to a variety of Global Change Assessment Model scenarios.

Research software aims to formulate an accurate way to explore feedbacks among socioeconomics, Earth system changes, and crop yield changes

Field campaign data from the U.S. Southern Great Plains are helping to improve model representations of these small yet influential clouds.

Scientists demonstrated a direct link between tropical rainfall intensity and spatial distribution of surface moist entropy.

PNNL researchers have created a new way to achieve precise control over the chemical composition of complex interfaces.

Scientists at PNNL's Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis (CME) are working to understand the fundamental reactivity of H2 that could contribute to making hydrogen a more widely used fuel source.

Using a bio-inspired design that mimics nature's catalysts-enzymes, researchers at PNNL have designed a rarely seen reversible synthetic catalyst.

As countries revised previously reported statistics, coal data showed larger adjustments than oil and natural gas.

Arctic and midlatitude black carbon particles intensify haze over the North China Plain by weakening the East Asian winter monsoon.

A unique strategy sharpens understanding of the behavior and physics within the model’s atmospheric component.

At PNNL, scientists have mapped the reaction that turns wind-generated electricity into fuel and the amount of energy needed for each step.

Dr. Morris Bullock and Dr. Monte Helm reviewed the catalysis research at the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis, where Bullock is the director, in a recent article in Accounts of Chemical Research.

Generating power without gasoline, diesel, or coal could change our nation's energy and security landscape. However, replacing technologies that use fossil fuel with ones that require rare metals is unsustainable.

Making hydrogen economically demands a quick, efficient reaction. Creating that reaction demands a catalyst. CME scientists found that a proton and water-packed environment lets the catalyst work 50 times faster—without added energy.
