Our #watershed scientists are bringing new understanding to the key controls on watershed #nitrogen cycling and the health of our 's ecosystems. #WatershedWednesday Berkeley Lab National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)

#FiberOptic cables are incredibly useful scientific sensors - by land and by sea. With support from California Energy Commission, Berkeley Lab geophysicists will develop techniques for two novel uses: monitoring offshore wind and underground natural gas storage. bit.ly/3d4kz83 #wind #energystorage

Rain Check A new study by our Berkeley Lab researchers has shown that a tropical weather pattern will bring a 50% increase in winter rainfall variability to #CA by the year 2100. Learn more bit.ly/2XN4WgC... #CAwater #ScienceSnapshot See more

From batteries and fuel cells to chemical and thermal storage, mechanical storage, flexible generation and loads, and more, our new Energy Storage Center will f...ocus research efforts to help meet our country’s energy storage needs.

It's October 18 10^18 Exascale Day! . And, we are highlighting some of the Berkeley Lab staff that are contributing to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing efforts. Here are some of their stories. . Learn more about #ExascaleDay: https://www.exascaleproject.org/

One #RD100 award announced this month is for a simulator co-developed by our EESA Berkeley Lab researchers: Amanzi-ATS. This simulator can predict the impact of #wildfire on water quality, or to monitor cleanup at nuclear waste remediation sites.
