Dry Patch of Land Connects Rainfall Across Continents
Novel modeling experiments show that heating near North Africa leads to drying near North America.
Wet Aluminum Hydroxide and Oxyhydroxide Particles Release Hydrogen When Irradiated
Vitrifying nuclear waste for storage is complicated by aluminum and understanding this behavior is vital. Research suggests that upon radiolysis, the properties of humid aluminum particles do not change substantially but hydrogen is formed.
A Unique Coastal Forest Flooding Experiment
This study demonstrated that a large-scale flooding experiment in coastal Maryland, USA, aiming to understand how freshwater and saltwater floods may alter soil biogeochemical cycles and vegetation in a deciduous coastal forest.
Increasing Catchment Size Enhances the Variety of Functions Provided by Organic Matter in Rivers
The diversity and function of organic matter in rivers at a large scale are influenced by factors, such as the types of vegetation covering the land, the energy characteristics, and the breakdown potential of the molecules.
A Watershed Study for Wetland Restoration
Culminating 10 years of study, researchers at PNNL’s Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory developed a new predictive framework for estuarine–tidal river research and management.
