This session brings together leading multidisciplinary experts involved in communicating climate change to users and society, to reveal new research findings and stimulate a crucial scientific debate on the appropriate role of visualization tools and processes to support policy and action. It explores the benefits, risks, and dilemmas of going beyond the physical sciences and reimagining the future, through interactive visualization and discussion with session participants. Breakout discussions will be facilitated and outcomes recorded by the speakers and experts from fields such as climate scenarios, scientific visualization, multimedia decision theaters, electronic communications, psychology, and visualization ethics.  Read more about this symposium and AAAS conference by visiting link http://aaas.confex.com/aaas/2012/webprogram/Session4604.html
