Researchers at PNNL are scrutinizing the factors that influence the intensity of hurricanes like Irma, Harvey and Jose.
PNNL Flood Modeling Helps DHS During Busy Hurricane Season
PNNL flood modeling analysis is helping inform federal infrastructure planning and emergency response efforts this hurricane season.
Sensors and Batteries: Never Small Enough?
The world is becoming reliant on increasingly smaller sensors that improve daily life in many ways. A PNNL-led paper takes a closer look at these technologies and their future development for environmental and sensitive species monitoring.
Gokul Iyer, Others From PNNL, Honored for Climate Paper
PNNL scientist Gokul Iyer was co-lead author of an award-winning paper that assessed the impact of pledges of more than 100 nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Building a Better Model: Supersaturation Variability May Affect Cloud Droplet Concentration
Researchers show that small-scale turbulent fluctuations lead to larger concentrations of cloud droplets than would be possible in conventional models of atmospheric clouds
For Understanding Soil Methane Flux, Two Techniques Are Better Than One
Researchers used a combination of sophisticated laboratory incubations and field measurements to determine the role of microbial production and consumption of methane in soils with different exposure to tidal inundation
How Does a River Breathe?
PNNL scientists have been studying how rivers and streams breathe. Their research focuses on respiration, organic matter, and natural disturbances that affect rivers and streams.
Sulfur Dioxide Emission Height Reveals Uncertainty in Radiative Forcing Across Earth System Models
The Emissions Model Intercomparison Project examined how selected emissions-related properties affected results in 11 global chemistry and Earth-system models.
Different Aerosol Emission Sources Work Together to Drive the Slowdown of Atlantic Overturning Circulation
Models have identified a new source of anthropogenic emissions driving the observed weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
