Wettest Winter Storms in the Western U.S. Growing Wetter
Extreme winter storms are growing wetter and changing shape in the Western United States—such changes could compromise infrastructure designed to withstand only so much water.
PNNL Supports a Resilient Power Grid for Oregon
Report for the Oregon Public Utility Commission highlights innovations and best practices for resilience and utility planning could be helpful to other states as well.
Diverse Approach Key to Carbon Removal
In new work, PNNL researchers find that 10 gigatons of carbon dioxide may need to be pulled from Earth's atmosphere and oceans annually to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. A diverse suite of carbon dioxide removal methods will be key.

Faster-developing, Wetter Hurricanes To Come
Climate change sets the stage for hurricanes to rapidly intensify faster, bringing wetter storms to the U.S. Atlantic Coast and other coastlines.
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.
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.
