Pengfei Shi Wins First Place for Poster
PNNL postdoc Pengfei Shi won first place in the Early Career Researcher Poster Competition at the recently concluded NOAA Subseasonal and Seasonal Applications Workshop.
Unraveling the Secrets of River Sinuosity
This study examined the role of river sinuosity using computer models to understand what drives hyporheic exchange, a process that significantly affects water quality and ecosystem health.
BEACONS Sets Sights for Data from Commercial Ships
Data-gathering instruments will be positioned on commercial, ocean-going ships in a Department of Energy-funded project that is expected to improve understanding of marine atmosphere and aerosol–cloud interactions.
Providing International Guidance to Achieve Remediation "End States"
An International Atomic Energy Agency effort, chaired by PNNL's Mike Truex, will help inform the process for achieving successful end states at contaminated sites worldwide.
Cooling Off Warming Trends in the Arctic
Study shows that emissions from trans-Arctic shipping could increase clouds, cooling the atmosphere and surface.
Tracking Injected Fluids: A Seismic Contrast Agent Breakthrough
Researchers at PNNL are developing a new class of acoustically active nanomaterials designed to improve the high-resolution tracking of exploratory fluids injected into the subsurface. These could improve subsurface geophysical monitoring.
Imaging Goes Underground at the Hanford site
"It's sort of like using infrared goggles to see heat signatures in the dark, except this is underground." PNNL and CHPRC implemented a state-of-the-art approach to monitor the process of remediating residual uranium at Hanford's 300 Area.
Cloud as Stumbling Block for the Propagation of the Southern Annular Mode
Cloud and its radiative effect are among the determining processes for the energy balance of the global climate; they are also the most challenging processes for the climate models to simulate.
Examining How Energy Transport Affects Global Monsoons in Climate Models
Researchers develop a diagnostic framework to identify the sources of global monsoon simulation biases from an energy transport perspective.
