The CSSL recently held a mini-'conference' where all of our many interns presented what they had worked on over the summer, now that summer internships have ended. Fantastic work on these, and on the work over the summer. Could seriously compete with other conferences we've attended :-) Pics below.

The Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory has launched 🚀. Backed by 60 years of expertise in #wind engineering—and a $20M gift from ImpactWX—it will revolutionize how we understand Canada’s most extreme #weather. At our new website, cssl.ca, you can watch a recording of the first CSSL Symposium.
The CSSL held an international symposium as part of the its launch in late October, 2024.
