Researchers in the Northwest are studying dirty snow – and how cleaner snow could someday help with water resources around the world.

Northwest researchers have discovered that turtle shells, of all things, can help track radioactive doses through time – like walking tree rings. Scientists say these heroes in a half shell could help with environmental monitoring at nuclear waste and fallout sites around the world.

Northwest scientists say the region’s unique geology could help the planet. To keep heat-trapping gasses out of the atmosphere, researchers want to pump CO2 deep underground.

Reducing carbon emissions caused by agriculture in Eastern Washington could cost growers. At least at the start.

Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are tagging and releasing lamprey to learn more about their journey to sea from inland rivers.

A recent salmon field trip has helped students become more curious about salmon.

Fish researchers worldwide now have an inexpensive and effective way to study fish passage dams. That’s because Northwest researchers are releasing reams of data to broaden the understanding of fish behavior at dams around.

Recent atmospheric research may help Northwest forest managers better prepare for wildfires.

Soon, it could be easier to track young sockeye salmon around dams.

Scientists have discovered they can track fire lines and can quickly draw attention to spot fires using satellites.
