Video: Terraformer wind tunnel takes hazards engineering research to a new level

Wind engineer and 13th generation Floridian Forrest Masters knows how to ride out a hurricane. In fact, hurricanes have become his life’s work. With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Masters and a team at the University of Florida are developing a world-class facility with new technology to help engineers and scientists better understand the high wind storms that batter communities along U.S. coastlines. This facility is part of NSF’s $62-million investment in Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI).
