April 22-24, 2024

A changing climate affects us all. At the Conference of Innovations in Climate Resilience, presented by Battelle, government leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators will gather to discuss and explore the latest research and advancements in mitigating environmental threats.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) scientists shared their expertise in climate research, including areas related to climate modeling, climate security, environmental justice, atmospheresoil management, and Earth systems sciences. Several focused on closing the carbon cycle; attendees from the Joint Global Change Research Institute discussed climate modeling.

Job Opportunities

The Department of Energy (DOE) supports the nation’s brightest minds, using state-of-the-art facilities to unlock our commitment to drive discovery—stewarding 17 national laboratories, including PNNL. Join the drive to unlock innovative solutions to climate concerns by supporting the fundamental research for energy production and security.
