Alison Delgado to Author Climate Assessment Report Chapter
PNNL Earth scientist Alison Delgado will serve as an author for the “Science of Response Management” chapter of the Sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA6.)
Climate Change May Triple the Intensity of Extreme Precipitation from Mesoscale Storms
Researchers found that in a future where the Great Plains are 4 to 6 degrees Celsius (°C) warmer as projected in a high-emission scenario, these storms could bring three times more intense rainfall.
Current Predictions may Underestimate Precipitation Increase with Climate Change
A recent study suggests a higher global mean precipitation increase and narrows the uncertainty range.
City Sprawl Now Large Enough to Sway Global Warming Over Land
Once thought to cover too little of the Earth’s surface to affect climate at larger scales, new work finds that city sprawl does add to global warming—over land, at least.
Beyond Higher Temperatures: Preparing for National Security Risks Posed by Climate Change
Beyond melting ice and higher temperatures: On Earth Day, scientists consider how climate change will affect national security.
PNNL Researchers Contribute to UCAR Best Paper
A paper co-authored by four PNNL-affiliated scientists has been awarded the 2023 UCAR Outstanding Accomplishment Award for Publication.
Supercharged Heat Waves Like Washington’s Deadliest Will Strike Harder and More Often; New Study Reveals How
If current warming trends continue, heat waves like Washington's deadliest could grow stronger and afflict the Pacific Northwest more often.
How to Slow Global Warming: Three Widescale Efforts Could Make the Difference
In a new paper, researchers point to three major efforts where the biggest climate mitigation gains stand to be realized: ramping up carbon dioxide removal, reigning in non-carbon dioxide emissions and halting deforestation.
More Frequent Hurricanes Raise Risk to U.S. East and Gulf Coasts
New research finds that global warming will bring stronger and more frequent hurricanes to U.S. coasts, up by a third compared to current levels.
