PNNL is leading the nation with research addressing urgent needs for reimagining U.S. critical infrastructure against the realities of software-speed attacks and hazards.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory partnered with the Treasury and Amazon Web Services to develop Cache, a cloud-based tool that allows the Treasury’s disparate data to be easily searched, translated, extracted, linked, and analyzed.

The Community Earth atmospheric Data System (CEDS) provides historical surface flux data that are used for general analysis and also for model validation through comparisons with observations.

RemPlex provides a global forum committed to fostering technical leadership, collaborative research, and professional development that facilitates the cost-effective remediation of complex sites.

The Center for Understanding Subsurface Signals and Permeability (CUSSP) Energy Earthshot Research Center (EERC) is working to develop the ability to predict and control fluid flow through fracture networks in enhanced geothermal systems.

A report on the projected effects of climate change on federal hydropower through the end of the twenty-first century.

The COMPASS project aims to increase fundamental understanding, models, and the ability to predict change in coastal systems.

DREAM generates and optimizes monitoring programs for detecting potential leaks from geological carbon storage.

PNNL and ORNL are working together on Digital Twins to modernize the U.S. hydropower plant fleet, which will reduce operating costs, improve reliability, reduce downtime, enhance grid resiliency, and reduce environmental impacts.

New report examining multiple decades of climate and hydropower generation data provides insights into resilience of the western hydropower fleet.

E4D is a 3D geophysical modeling and inversion program designed for subsurface imaging and monitoring using static and time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), spectral induced polarization (SIP) and travel-time tomography data.

PNNL’s integrated software systems (FRAMES, MEPAS, MetView, APGEMS, CAPP) allow users to assess the environmental fate and transport of contaminants—and the potential impacts on humans and the environment—in a systematic, holistic approach.

From global issues such as melting permafrost and the creation of alternate biofuels to matters affecting microbiomes and micro-sized life, PNNL research is featured in news publications worldwide.
