CBC Manitoba: Hail-focused research projects ‘long past due’ in Canada, U.S., prof says

Hail-focused research in Canada and the U.S.  is “long past due,” said John Hanesiak, a professor at the University of Manitoba’s department of environment and geography who works with the Northern Hail Project, which is conducting similar research in Alberta this summer.

“This is sort of one of the first projects that’s been dedicated to hail [in the U.S.] in 40 years, and the same thing can be said in Canada,” he said.

Canada’s last major hail-focused research project was the Alberta Hail Project, which ran from 1956 to 1985, Hanesiak said.
