Tethys, OES-Environmental, and WREN have formed several partnerships with groups sponsoring conferences and workshops having focal areas in the field of the potential environmental effects of wind and marine energy development. These global partnerships have resulted in the dissemination of information and content presented at various conferences and workshops. If your group is interested in having material hosted on Tethys, please email tethys@pnnl.gov.
Below is a list of past conferences and workshops, containing video/audio files of the presentations, Q&A sessions, and posters when available.
