Terraforming atmosphere will moderate and later stops completely the storm. You can solve the challenge that way too.

The mods also adds a new underground building "Underground Lab". This building is available for all sponsors. It's like an hybrid of a Low-G lab and Recon Center.
It produces research points and scan the underground at the same time. The scan reveals deposits and anomalies, but also has a chance to trigger a quake.
The research has the best production per scientists, but the building has a more aggressive collaborative losses than regular buildings, so you would only gain better research with a few buildings.
