The world of geoscience often appears stuck in the past, providing fascinating insight but not necessarily answering the challenges of today. So, what advances can tackle issues from geohazards to climate change? By studying rocks, minerals and landscapes, geoscientists uncover information about the Earth's evolution, shaping the world we see today. Although this backwards-looking approach has many uses, it doesn't always address modern challenges in a world shaped by human activity.

Hailstorms pose a significant risk to exposed assets, necessitating accurate estimates for insurance pricing and risk mitigation. Severe thunderstorms with intense updraft cores create an ideal setting for the formation of large hail. These storms draw moisture from the lower troposphere and carry it to altitudes with sub-freezing temperatures, supporting ice particle formation and hail growth.
