The Past is the Key to the Future
In the organizer's words:
The fact that the climate is changing is not a modern phenomenon, but an integral part of the Earth system. However, the speed and intensity of change are unprecedented in the Earth's recent history. In order to understand the extent of the current changes, however, they must be placed in a temporal context. This raises the question of how to reconstruct the climate of past centuries and millennia, as systematic human records only began in the 19th century.
This is the task of paleoclimatology. Researchers in this scientific discipline use various climate archives from which they can obtain climate data from past times. These archives include organic archives, such as tree rings and corals, as well as inorganic archives such as dripstones, sediment and ice cores.
The photo project "The Past is the Key to the Future" by Jan Richard Heinicke shows the work of paleoclimatologists throughout Europe and aims to create a deeper understanding of the abstract concept of "climate science".
The photographs are on display in the central hall of the depot and can be explored independently during the museum's opening hours.
