LOS ALAMOS, N.M., May 5, 2021-- A massive collaborative research project covered in the journal Nature this week offers projections to the year 2100 of future sea-level rise from all sources of land ice, offering the most complete projections created to date. "This work synthesizes improvements over the last decade in climate models, ice sheet and glacier models, and estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions," said Stephen Price, one of the...

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Argonne is looking at alternative supply chains for critical materials, says Cynthia Jenks, head of Argonnes circular economy initiative. Mining these materials from our nations urban sources would enhance national security.

"The Laboratory can be very proud. The number of Argonne researchers who earned this prestigious recognition from DOE, the Secretarys Honor Awards, is more than double that of the previous year," said Argonne Director Paul Kearns. "Congrat...
