Study: Weaker ocean circulation could enhance CO2 buildup in the atmosphere...

As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more carbon from the deep ocean into the atmosphere — rather than less, as some have predicted.

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.

How light can vaporize water without the need for heat

Researchers at MIT have discovered a new phenomenon: that light can cause evaporation of water from its surface without the need for heat. Pictured is a lab device designed to measure the “photomolecular effect,” using laser beams.

Using deep learning to image the Earth’s planetary boundary layer

MIT Lincoln Laboratory

This schematic of the planetary boundary layer (red line) shows exchanges of moisture and movement of aerosols that occur between the Earth's surface and this lowest level of the atmosphere. Lincoln Laboratory researchers are using deep learning techniques to learn more about PBL features, important for weather and climate studies.

MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy

The contribution of sulfur hexafluoride to the greenhouse effect is more than 24,000 times that of carbon dioxide; the gas is commonly used in electric power grids. A new study quantifies China’s contribution to global SF6 emissions and locates their sources.
