Disasters like hurricanes, hailstorms, tornadoes, and wildfires can be devastating and frightening. They displace families, drive financial loss, and destroy communities. Join us as we sit down with science, insurance, and building industry professionals who will help us explore the intersection of these hazards with the built environment and steps being taken to prevent future devastation.
The In-Situ Collaborative Experiment for the Collection of Hail In the Plains (ICECHIP) wraps up after 6 weeks of scientific storm chasing in pursuit of hail-producing thunderstorms. In this episode, we discuss the project's success in the field, highlight valuable partnerships formed during the project, and hear some of the early insights surrounding the data collected. Plus, looking ahead to how ICECHIP scientists will use this data to better understand hailstorms.
