Abstract
Our climate and natural environment is increasingly uncertain and extreme with an associated increase in the severity and number of catastrophic events. This talk looks at how we can collect and use data to gain an understanding in the mitigation and prevention of global catastrophic risks (GCRs) of one type of increasingly extreme natural event, namely volcanic eruptions. In particular we will look into risk communication to understand 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 novel methodologies, with a focus on participatory processes, including role-playing games and scenario-based exercises for increasing awareness of GCRs and for future explorations.
Series This talk is part of the Cambridge Statistics Discussion Group (CSDG) series.
