Risky Science Podcast Severe Convective Storms are Reshaping Insurance and Modeling with Dr. Victor GensiniWe talk with Dr. Victor Gensini, a professor at Northern Illinois University and one of the leading experts on severe convective storms. Dr. Gensini works with the Insurance Information Institute and has just launched a new center for convective storm research, bringing together academic research and industry needs to tackle this modeling challenge.We'll explore why these storms are so much harder to model than hurricanes, what new data sources are filling the gaps in our understanding, and why we're still five to ten years away from having reliable catastrophe models for severe convective storms.

Earthlings 2.0 Podcast #114: The New Reality of Extreme Weather with Victor Gensini In this episode of Earthlings 2.0, we speak with Victor Gensini, professor of meteorology at Northern Illinois University, who explains how climate change is altering the frequency, intensity, and geographic reach of extreme weather events like hailstorms and tornadoes. He explains how the changing statistical distributions of climate make it harder to rely on historical models, and discusses his fieldwork through the ICECHIP hail research campaign. Gensini highlights the power of AI, Doppler radar, machine learning, and even drones to transform prediction, and stresses that exposure and development patterns are just as critical as climate change itself in...

Weather Geeks IceCHIP Field CampaignGuest: Dr. Victor GensiniWhen discussions are had about Billion-Dollar Disasters, odds are your mind goes to the biggest hurricane landfalls and tornadoes that struck the country this year. But the sneakiest of disasters has become hail storms. As the convective storm passes through a town and dumps tons of ice on cars, roofs, and windows, the costs very quickly add up and the infrastructure is put to the test. But do we know all we can about these hail storms and how we can mitigate future disasters? Today, we are welcoming back a friend of the sho...

Sustain What?Where and Why Tornado Risk is Growing as Climate - and Communities - ChangeHere’s a key point I made in today’s pop-up webcast: Think of Tornado Alley as a syndrome, not a place. And it isn’t what, and where, it used to be.In 2018, longtime tornado researchers Victor Gensini of Northern Illinois University and Harold Brooks of NOAA’s National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Okla., completed widely-covered research showing a substantial shift in the particular meteorological conditions that are most apt to generate tornadoes (and a shift in tornado reports). Media coverage, then and since, has tended to zoom in on the hot ques...

Unsung Science Tornado Alley is Shifting Eastward—and We're Not Ready Tornadoes are nasty and dangerous. They appear and disappear so fast, there’s usually no time for evacuation—and the United States gets 75% of all the world’s tornadoes, about 1,300 of them a year. They occur all year ‘round, in all 50 states, but the biggest swarm forms in Tornado Alley, in the southern Plains states like Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. In 2018, storm chaser and meteorologist Victor Gensini made a startling discovery: Tornado Alley has been shifting eastward. Their growing frequency in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee is a deadly development, because more people live in these areas, often in flimsy h...

Carolina Weather Group Predicting TornadoesTornadoes are some of the most studied weather phenomenons in the world. How do they form? Where are they going to hit? Could it be that we are getting closer to being able to predict when the next tornado may strike? Victor Gensini joins us to discuss the possibility of predicting tornadoes a few weeks in advance. Victor will discuss the findings from recent reasearch that may help give people advance awareness of when tornadoes could strike.
