PeopleAboutDistinguished ProfessorMy research emphasizes the use of climate science, both modeling and analysis, for investigating the causes and future impacts of climate change. I also lead a team that conducts meteorological measurements and analysis of data taken at the surface and from tall towers within and near utility scale wind farms. The objectives of this research are: Improve the predictive skill of wind forecast models Understand wind-farm power reduction due to turbine wakes Evaluate the impact of wind farms on crops Area of Expertise: Agricultural MeteorologyContactgstakle@iastate.edu(515) 294-98713013 Agronomy 716 Farm House LnAmesIA50011-1051 Interdepartmental Programs: Sustainable AgricultureEducation: Ph.D., Physics, Iowa State University, 1971B.A., Physics and Mathematics, Luther College, 1966CV: brief_bio_cv_takle_2019-02.pdfTags: climate sciencemodelinganalysisclimate changemeteorologytall towerswind turbineswind farms PeopleSupervisor(s): Dr. Kendall R Lamkey PublicationsSelected Publications 4th U.
