Partial travel funding is available for students and early-career
researchers. Find details here

This event appeals especially to researchers new to the hazards engineering
field. The symposium will focus on severe storm meteorology, wind
engineering and structural engineTering disciplines, but all related
disciplines are welcome. There will be strong representation from the ASCE
TWSE group – with special emphasis on young researchers and students. The
THWARTS symposium offers partial travel funding to about 40 attendees who
are early career faculty or graduate students.



Why THWARTS? Better understanding of near-surface tornado wind hazards and
impacts requires representation from all relevant disciplines and true
interaction between these groups.
