Aerospace innovations contribute to understanding, monitoring, and mitigating climate change.


The new Aerospace and Our Changing Environment exhibition will focus on how aerospace innovations help us understand climate change while providing opportunities to mitigate and adapt to the problem through new technologies. Visitors will learn how climate data is collected, monitored, and analyzed. The exhibition will also explore how aerospace innovations are advancing energy, agriculture, and aviation to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels. Aerospace and Our Changing Environment aims to strike a balance between the urgency of climate change and the hopeful possibility of individual and collective actions against it. 

The exhibition will be presented in the Holt Innovations gallery. This dynamic space will feature exhibitions that rotate every 18-24 months and explore the different ways aerospace innovations are a central feature of contemporary life and are transforming our future.
