Extreme weather: tornado chasing and the power of the atmosphere
Drawing on personal tornado-chasing experiences, Reinier explains how extreme weather develops and what the power of the atmosphere teaches us about risk, preparation and teamwork.
Reinier van den Berg organises storm-chasing expeditions in the American Midwest, where he has witnessed supercells and tornadoes up close. In this spectacular talk he takes you along on the chase, with first-hand stories.
