Rainfall Characteristics over the Central U.S. Influence Agriculture and Flood Risk
Mesoscale convective systems produce more intense rainfall than warm-season rain in this region.
New Modeling Improves Precipitation Simulation in Mountains High and Low
Downscaling methods improve representation of terrain effects on precipitation for earth system models.
Emulating Indices of Extreme Temperature and Precipitation with Computationally Efficient Algorithms
Emulators—algorithms that fill data gaps—are traditionally used to project average temperatures and precipitation. This work shows that efficient emulators can substitute for costly simulations over a wide range of extreme indices.
Overcoming the Bystander Effect in Chemical Ethics
A PNNL developed e-training helps chemists internalize the Global Chemical Code of Ethics' ideals and practice speaking up when others don't.
Allison Myers-Pigg
Allison Myers-Pigg is an Earth Scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. She is an aquatic organic geochemist and has been with PNNL since 2019.
Connecting Coastal Processes with Global Systems
In a recent review article, an interdisciplinary team of researchers led by PNNL biogeochemist Nick Ward proposed a path to refining the representation of coastal interfaces in Earth systems models used to predict climate.
Visiting Faculty Program
The Visiting Faculty Program seeks to increase the research competitiveness of faculty members by providing research experiences at DOE laboratories like PNNL.
Warmer Southern Ocean Leads to More Antarctic Snow
A team of researchers discovered more about how sea ice in the Southern Ocean might regulate changes in the amount and location of Antarctic precipitation.
