Windstorm-Related Presentations (2005-2016)

by

Wolf Read


 

General Description

The following are links to many of the talks that I have given at scientific conferences, seminars and as an invited speaker. Focus is on Pacific Northwest windstorms and wind-tree interactions. There is overlap in the subject matter of many of these talks. However, even when the similarity is great, each presentation has at least a little something that is new.

All presentations are in PDF format. File sizes vary and are noted in the table below. If you have any questions about the material, feel free to contact me: my e-mail address listed at the bottom of the page. Thank you.
