PNNL at ASMS 2023
Staff scientists and users from the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory will present talks, seminars, and papers at the 71st annual American Society for Mass Spectrometry Conference, June 4-8 in Houston, Texas.
Understanding Climate–Fire–Ecosystem Interactions Using a New Fire Model
Ecosystem feedback fire model opens new investigative pathways into impacts of fire on future climate.
Understanding Impacts, Responses of Atmospheric Rivers to Earth System Changes
Increased precipitation intensity and hydrologic extremes are associated with atmospheric rivers under warming temperatures.
Deconstructing the Soil Microbiome
By studying discrete functional components of the soil microbiome at high resolution, researchers obtained a more complete picture of soil diversity compared to analysis of the entire soil community.
PNNL Scientists Apply Expertise to Issues Affecting Washington State
Two PNNL researchers have been elected to Washington State Academy of Sciences. Two others PNNL scientists join the academy board of directors.
Earth System Model Offers New View of Aerosol Treatments
Aerosol treatments in E3SM affect clouds, heat reflected to space, and Earth’s snow-or-ice-covered surface.
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.
Revealing an Unexplored Mechanism for Microbial Metabolism in River Sediment
Researchers performed controlled laboratory experiments using river sediment to test organic matter thermodynamics as a mechanism of metabolic control in areas where groundwater and surface water mix.
Including Soil Erosion in Global Models of the Carbon Cycle
This study, led by by PNNL researchers, highlights the substantial role of soil erosion in the carbon cycle simulated by Earth system models.
Soil “Breathes Out” More CO2 During Warmer Temperatures When Near Large Trees
Tree presence impacts how soils respond to temperature change in coastal forest.
