Fall 2021 marks the first semester since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic where first-years could begin their MIT journey with some of the usual new student offerings, including pre-orientation programs. The Discover Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (DEAPS) program brought together a group of 20 incoming first-years to explore the different disciplines that call EAPS their home through a wide range of academic and social activities, involving interactions with faculty, students and staff. As the fall semester comes to a close, take a look back at some of the activities the first-years participated in.

Decoding the Arctic to predict winter weather

MIT Civil and Environmental Engineering
Judah Cohen’s model won first place for the fall season in the 2025 AI WeatherQuest subseasonal forecasting competition. The winning model combined machine-learning pattern recognition with the same Arctic diagnostics Cohen has refined over decades. The model detected a potential cold surge in mid-December for the U.S. East Coast weeks before such signals typically arise. The forecast was widely publicized in the media in real-time.
