Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Meet the next generation of climate scientists
Q: Can you give us just a quick definition about what we mean when we say 'weather resource'?
Weather resources are different aspects of our climate that have economic meaning and implications for people's lives, such as renewable energy relevance and personal well-being.
Meet the next generation of climate scientists
Q: Can you tell us about your research and why you're doing it?
My research focuses on atmospheric deep convection and its impacts on extreme rainfall and weather system dynamics, combining observational data with modeling techniques.
Meet the next generation of climate scientists
Q: Can you tell us in simple terms about your research and why you're doing it?
The principal topic here is compound events in climate field, which examines the interaction of different extreme events such as heatwaves and floods.
Will hailstorms get worse with climate change?
Q: What is the likelihood of hail occurring and how do we know when it's coming?
Hail occurrence is predicted through radar signals used to track storms, while general conditions are assessed through larger weather models.
Will hailstorms get worse with climate change?
Q: How does hail get made?
Hail is formed when updrafts in thunderstorms pull moisture upward, where it freezes into ice and accumulates water through super-cooled liquid before falling.
