Integration of Climate Sciences in Power System Studies
ZOOMIntegration of Climate Sciences in Power System Studies The United States relies heavily on fresh surface water-dependent electricity generation, using water as fuel for hydropower and coolant for water dependent thermo-electric plants. Climate change and associated warmer temperatures and more frequent extreme events are expected to disrupt water availability as well as electricity demand. Decarbonization…
Community S&T Seminar Series: Through the Eye of the Needle: Microbes, Carbon, Water, and Soil
ZOOMJoin our next Community S&T Seminar Series presented by Dr. Vanessa Bailey, PNNL Earth Scientist. Microbes are critical agents of an enormous number of soil processes, perhaps most importantly, those associated with carbon cycling, greenhouse gas emissions, and global climate feedbacks. Yet the soil is a physically and chemically complex system within which microbial communities…
