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 Nereus Project aims to collect and analyze comprehensive environmental monitoring data around operational marine energy sites and devices in the United States.
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.
The QuAADS Initiative seeks to develop the computing processes, tools, and knowledge to transition from current technologies to quantum computing technologies by leveraging codesign and hybrid computing approaches.
The Salish Sea Model (SSM) is a predictive coastal ocean model for estuarine research, restoration planning, water-quality management, and climate change response assessment.
PNNL researchers developed and manage the online database Tethys to actively collects and curates information on the environmental effects of wind and marine energy.
The Institute for Quantum Science brings together PNNL's expertise to develop the science, tools, and workflows needed to operate quantum systems as scientific instruments for DOE mission science.
Triton aims to reduce barriers to deployment of marine energy devices through research and advancement of environmental monitoring tools and methodologies.
