Geeta Nain assesses climate informed risk such as tropical cyclone induced storm surge risk for the U.S. Coasts and wind risk for Offshore wind farms in the Environment Science Division. Her research involves Tropical cyclone modeling, hydrodynamic modeling of storm surge and quantifying risk induced with different synthetic tropical cyclone hazard models in changing climate. She gained four years of work experience in catastrophe modeling at Risk Management Solutions, India and obtained a professional master’s degree in Earth, Atmosphere and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) with a computational sciences track in a computational interdisciplinary grad program from Purdue University.
