“As a lawyer that often defends road authorities in winter maintenance claims, knowing the specific weather conditions in a particular location, at a particular time is often key to my client’s case. I rely on Forensic Climatology Consulting Inc. for this information. Randy Mawson is knowledgeable, responsive, is capable of explaining complex meteorological information in an easily understandable manner, and when he has bad news for me about his case, he doesn’t sugar-coat it. This is why I rely on him as my go-to forensic weatherman!”

“I had the pleasure of working with mr. Mawson in 2008 and 2009 on the National Aerial Surveillance Program when he served as a weather specialist with the Marine Aerial Reconnaissance Team (MART).  During this time, he provided daily weather briefings, forecasts and operational planning strategies which were instrumental in mission success.  Mawson's vast experience and knowledge of meteorology was invaluable to the entire crew and his calm, professional manner was always a welcomed contribution to our team.”

“In my dealings with him, Randy Mawson had been uniformly responsive and professional. He brings a deep familiarity with historical weather data sources to the table, and I appreciate his plain spoken and succinct distillation of what weather conditions were most likely like at a given place and time.”

“I have been a professional colleague of Mr. Mawson’s for over 30 years. During that time, he has held a variety of highly responsible positions with Environment Canada. In his work at Weather and Marine Offices across Canada, he has gained an extensive knowledge of meteorology. He has successfully handled requests for weather data and consultation from many diverse sectors including aviation, police, agriculture, insurance, lawyers and the media. For many years, Mr. Mawson conducted a public outreach program called CanWarn regarding the recognition and reporting of severe weather thus enhancing and furthering Environment Canada’s mandate to protect and preserve the safety of Canadians. 

I believe that he will be able to employ his knowledge and years of experience in weather and climatology towards pursuing a successful “second career” as a forensic weather expert.”
