UTEP and PNNL are advancing the collective scientific impact of both institutions through collaborations between PNNL researchers and UTEP faculty, as well as by building on the complementary strengths to grow a diverse STEM workforce.

The Water Cycle and Climate Extremes Modeling (WACCEM) Scientific Focus Area advances predictive understanding of water cycle variability and change through foundational research using models, observations, and novel numerical experiments.

PNNL develops training, exercises, and assessments to prepare and equip border security officers to detect, identify, and interdict the illicit movements of materials, commodities, and components associated with WMD.
