This allowed her to understand how the wind flow around volcanoes controls the movement of ash plumes through the atmosphere, depositing ash both close to the volcano and far away. [10] In her work with communities in Ecuador Barclay showed that volcanic risk can be improved with collaborative monitoring. [11]
