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.
The Grid Storage Launchpad (GSL) is a national capability for energy storage research funded by the Department of Energy Office of Electricity and located on the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) campus in Richland, Washington
PNNL is heavily engaged in the development and use of mass spectrometry technology across its science, energy, and security missions, from fundamental research through mature operational capabilities.
PNNL is a testbed for the latest research and technologies in marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR)—leveraging the ocean’s strength as a natural carbon sink to address pressing climate concerns.
The Molecular Observation Network is a national open science network designed to produce a comprehensive database of molecular and microstructural information on soil, water, microbial communities, and biogenic emissions.
The National Response Framework Policy Landscape Analysis Tool interactively captures and visualizes intricacies of the National Response Framework, a federal guide to national response to all types of disasters and emergencies.
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.
PNNL combines AI and cloud computing with damage assessment tools to predict the path of wildfires and quickly evaluate the impact of natural disasters, giving first responders an upper hand.
PNNL's River Corridor Hydrobiogeochemistry Scientific Focus Area works to transform understanding of spatial and temporal dynamics in river corridor hydrobiogeochemical functions from molecular reaction to watershed and basin scales.
