DESCRIPTION:Our climate and natural environment is increasingly uncertain 
 and extreme with an associated increase in the severity and number of cata
 strophic events. This talk looks at how we can collect and use data to gai
 n an understanding in the mitigation and prevention of global catastrophic
  risks (GCRs) of one type of increasingly extreme natural event\, namely v
 olcanic eruptions. In particular we will look into risk communication to u
 nderstand what communication methods\, tools and messages work to increase
  awareness of extreme volcanic eruptions with policymakers\, civil society
 \, industry and publics. This research to date has adopted the use of nove
 l methodologies\, with a focus on participatory processes\, including role
 -playing games and scenario-based exercises for increasing awareness of GC
 Rs and for future explorations.
