Study: Heavy snowfall and rain may contribute to some earthquakes

Episodes of heavy snowfall and rain likely contributed to a swarm of earthquakes over the past several years in northern Japan, MIT researchers find. Their study is the first to show climate conditions could initiate some quakes. Pictured is a scene from Japan’s Noto Peninsula.

An AI dataset carves new paths to tornado detection

MIT Lincoln Laboratory

Mark Veillette (left) and James Kurdzo compiled TorNet, an open-source dataset containing thousands of radar images depicting tornadoes and other severe storms. The dataset can serve as a benchmark for researchers to develop tornado-detecting AI algorithms.
