Aerospace and Our Changing Environment focuses on how aerospace innovations help us understand climate change while providing opportunities to mitigate and adapt to the problem through new technologies. Visitors learn how climate data is collected, monitored, and analyzed. The exhibition also explores 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 is presented in the Holt Innovations Gallery. The dynamic space features rotating exhibitions that explore the different ways aerospace innovations are a central feature of contemporary life and are transforming our future.
