Five PNNL technologies were recently awarded six R&D 100 honors. The R&D 100 Awards, now in its 58th year, recognize pioneers in science and technology from industry, the federal government, and academia.
Earth systems scientist Brian O’Neill has been named the new director of the Joint Global Change Research Institute. The institute is a partnership between PNNL and the University of Maryland in College Park, MD.
The nation’s ability to test for COVID-19 has expanded, thanks to work at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where scientists have established the performance of testing equipment to detect the virus.
A team of researchers led by scientists from PNNL simulated carbon cycling and community composition during 100 years of forest regrowth following disturbance.
First-ever measurements provide evidence that supercooled water exists in two distinct structures that co-exist and vary in proportion dependent on temperature.
PNNL researchers combined future socioeconomic and climate conditions in a complex model that accounts for the relationships between energy, water, land, climate, and human activities to predict future changes in virtual water trading.
PNNL scientists led a study to quantify radiative feedbacks using historical short-term climate simulations. These simulations can reproduce the observed warming and polar amplification.
Both fast-evolving and inherently random physical phenomena can appear noisy in numerical simulations. Now a generalized Itô correction can help ensure solution accuracy.
