Despite Spatial Proximity, Riverbed Sediments and River Water Have Distinct Processes that Impact Organic Matter
Across the United States, water moving between the river and riverbed sediments does not overcome localized processes that govern organic matter chemistry.
The Science of Hurricanes: Preparing for and Enduring Big Storms
Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.
The World Will Probably Warm Beyond the 1.5-Degree Limit. But Peak Warming Can Be Curbed.
The world's current climate pledges won't limit global warming to 1.5 °C. We will overshoot. A new study shows that more ambitious climate pledges could minimize the overshoot.
Western Wildfires Spark Stronger Storms in Downwind States
A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can, despite great distance, strengthen storms in downwind states.
Simulating the Effects of Climate Change
PNNL joint appointee Auroop Ganguly uses data science to study the impacts of climate change.
Strengthening Puerto Rico's Power Grid
EGRASS helps prepare and fortify critical structures to protect against the worst consequences of new hurricanes.
A New Methodology for Generating Building Temperature Setpoint Schedules
New work developed a methodology to generate building temperature setpoint schedules for use by modelers in large-scale building energy simulations.
Detail Matters for Understanding COVID-19 Impacts on Electricity Use
COVID-19 changed when and where we use electricity. Researchers showed that commonly available total demand data masked the actual changes.
