Pacific Northwest National Laboratory supports innovations in data analytics, instrumentation, and experimental techniques for the Northwest (NW) Biopreparedness Research Virtual Environment (BRaVE) Initiative.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has pioneered the use of observational research for evaluating energy efficient technologies in the built environment.

PNNL's Ocean Dynamics Modeling group studies coastal processes such as marine-hydrokinetic energy, coastal circulations, storm surge and extreme waves, tsunamis, sediment transport and nutrient-macroalgal dynamics.
