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.
McJeon Will Serve as Guest Editor for Decarbonization Journal Issue
Haewon McJeon will co-edit a special issue of Energy and Climate Change focused on national decarbonization strategies across the globe.
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.
Good Karma: Sawyer Named Distinguished Gilbreth Speaker

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.
Optimizing Random Forest Machine Learning Models to Predict Water Quality
Data-driven experiments can help determine best practices for Random Forest machine learning to predict water quality, particularly nitrate levels.
Despite Spatial Proximity, Riverbed Sediments and River Water Have Distinct Processes that Impact Organic Matter
Across the United States, water moving between the river and riverbed sediments does not overcome localized processes that govern organic matter chemistry.
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.
