Terraformer wind tunnel takes hazards engineering research to a new level - Science Nation

Forrest Masters, a wind engineer, focuses on hurricane resilience in Florida. With support from the National Science Foundation, his team at the University of Florida uses the Terraformer, a wind tunnel, to simulate various terrains and test building models under extreme wind conditions. They also conduct field research during storms to gather data. The facility serves as a collaborative hub for researchers nationwide, aiming to improve building safety and save lives in hurricane-prone areas.
