ALT view of blue car on a residential street in afternoon thunderstorm. Shows hail bouncing off the car windshield and roof, graupel and hailstones collecting on the hood, and splashing raindrops. Puddle is yellowish from pollen and dust.
ALT A collection of larger hailstones up to 1.8cm, and graupel clumps, on a brown plastic cap for contrast and yellow tape measure for scale. Taken a few minutes after they fell and melted a bit. Some grass is brown from weeks without rain.

ALT Advertisement for an AGU Fall Meeting 2022 session: PP017 - Novel Approaches to Reconstructing Extreme Events and Hydrological Hazards During the Holocene and Common Era. The last portion of the session description includes information on the submissions we are looking for: We welcome submissions reconstructing extreme events throughout the Holocene and Common Era, particularly tropical cyclones and floods. We strongly encourage the submission of studies using novel reconstruction methods—multiproxy techniques, proxy-model experiments, or new sampling strategies—to characterize hazards, understand interactions between extreme events and the climate system, or develop hazard mitigation plans, particularly concerning climate refugees and other vulnerable populations.
