Naveen Ragu Ramalingam

Naveen Ragu Ramalingam is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) in Oslo, where he models tsunamis from submarine landslides as part of the PCTWIN project, which supports the co-development of inclusive early warning systems for India’s coasts. He holds a PhD from IUSS Pavia (Italy), where he developed fast machine learning methods to predict tsunami inundation for early warning and long-term preparedness. Prior to his academic career, he worked at Aon, developing catastrophe models for the Asia–Pacific region. He also volunteers with the Global Tsunami Model Association to strengthen coastal resilience and represents Early Career Scientists in the Natural Hazards Division of the European Geosciences Union (EGU).

How can we encourage and empower Early Career Researchers? Reflections on a short course held at EGU 2025

How can we encourage and empower Early Career Researchers?  Reflections on a short course held at EGU 2025

At the EGU General Assembly 2025, we initiated a short course entitled “Best Practices for Early Career Researcher (ECR) Engagement and Empowerment in Research Projects”, designed and led by Early Career Researchers (ECRs). The goal was to provide an interactive platform for ECRs, project leaders, and anyone involved in research projects to come together, reflect, share experiences, co-learn, and ...[Read More]

Modern Solutions for Ancient Hazards: Speaking with Jacopo Selva, the 2024 EGU Plinius Medalist

Modern Solutions for Ancient Hazards: Speaking with Jacopo Selva, the 2024 EGU Plinius Medalist

Jacopo Selva is an associate professor at the University of Naples Federico II, Italy, and a former researcher at the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy. His research on seismic, volcanic, and tsunami hazards has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of these natural phenomena, particularly by developing probabilistic methods for hazard assessment and forecasti ...[Read More]
