Researchers study hail formation and its climate link to reduce U.S. property damage.

Seventy researchers are part of a federally funded project, ICECHIP, studying hail formation and its link to climate change to reduce hailstorm damage. The project uses advanced technology like drones and mobile radars to track thunderstorms across the U.S., aiming to improve hail forecasting and develop better building materials. Hail causes tens of billions in annual property damage in the U.S.
