Natural Hazards

Naveen Ragu Ramalingam

I am a PhD candidate in the Understanding and Managing Extremes Program at IUSS Pavia (Italy). My research focuses on modelling tsunami inundation using machine learning to reduce computational costs, which is crucial for extending probabilistic tsunami hazard and risk assessments from offshore to onshore applications. Before embarking on my PhD journey, I worked with a global reinsurance broker, developing catastrophe models to help estimate the financial impacts of disasters.

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

With Antonio Costa, Mark Bebbington, and Heidi Kreibich during the EGU24 award lecture

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]
