Burning Decisions: Managing Forest Lands
Scientists from PNNL and the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Forest Services’ Pacific Northwest Research Station have partnered to evaluate potential climate and wildfire adaptation scenarios and resulting benefits from restoration forestry.
Adding Snow to Estimates of Spring Flooding
By adding rain, snow, and rain-on-snow precipitation data to a background model, a new scheme pinpoints local flood risks in order to improve the design of small-scale hydrological infrastructure.
How do Particles Move Through Rivers to Coasts?
Researchers have developed the first coastal transport model for microplastics to understand how particles move in waterways and coastal currents.
The Heat Is On—Is the Grid Ready?
With a focus on prevention, PNNL researchers are working to predict droughts, enhance grid resilience, and manage forests to reduce wildfire.
Taming Tomorrow’s Wildfires
As wildfires grow increasingly severe, PNNL researchers are working to slow their spread and mitigate their harmful effects.
