On World Oceans Day, an international team of marine scientists reports that the potential impact of marine renewable energy to marine life is likely small or undetectable, though some uncertainty remains.

Soil respiration—the flow of CO2 from the soil surface to the atmosphere—is one of the largest carbon fluxes in the terrestrial biosphere.

Natural and human-driven disturbances are altering the world's forests, increasing tree mortality and reducing ecosystem recovery.

A technology developed by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory could pave the way for increased fuel economy and lower greenhouse gas emissions as part of an octane on demand fuel-delivery.

New analysis indicates that emissions from abandoned mines will contribute to higher emissions than previously thought.

A new study using proteogenomics to compare cancerous tissue with normal fallopian tube samples advances insights about the molecular machinery that underlies ovarian cancer.

Software vulnerabilities are likely to be discussed on social media before they’re revealed on a government reporting site, a practice that could pose a national security threat, according to computer scientists at PNNL.

Early achievement of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in California brings much larger health benefits than economic cost.

A new study is among the first to trace the molecular connections between genetics, the gut microbiome and memory in a mouse model bred to resemble the diversity of the human population.

To help researchers examine important cloud processes, a DOE user facility activity combines high-resolution simulations with real-world observations.

Researchers at PNNL have come up with a novel way to use silicon as an energy storage ingredient, replacing the graphite in electrodes. Silicon can hold 10 times the electrical charge per gram, but it comes with problems of its own.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed and continue to maintain a global database of measurements made of soil-to-atmosphere CO2 flows, termed soil respiration.

Low-salinity surface waters may promote rapid intensification through hurricane-induced oceanic mixing and air-sea energy transfer.

Existing techniques to detect pertechnetate in the environment have drawbacks. PNNL’s redox sensor technology uses a gold probe to accurately and efficiently measure low levels of pertechnetate—and possibly other contaminants—in groundwater

Nighttime interaction between Bay Area pollution and biogenic isoprene led to efficient formation of secondary organic aerosols.

Agent-based models of water resource management can include the interaction between human-engineered systems and natural processes

Industrial processing of aluminum requires understanding its behavior in highly alkaline solutions. Processing slurries and precipitates from these solutions is aided by controlling the shape of tiny particles that are produced.

Researchers at the IDREAM EFRC developed a new approach called Model Order Reduction that reduces computational complexity and speeds generation of results.

A new procedure for estimating sunlight reflection provides insight into feedbacks that affect Arctic warming.

A recent paper published in Water Resources Research found that the spatial variability of subsurface sediments, and seasonal fluctuations in a river’s water level, influences the behavior of a uranium contaminant plume, particularly in ...
