Science meets Society

How does science work? What is paleoclimate research? How can we extract climate information from ancient remnants of the Earth’s history? And why is this information so important if we want to know what awaits us in our climate future?

With a variety of educational formats and the special exhibition “Understanding Climate – Lessons from the Past” at the Senckenberg Naturmuseum in Frankfurt, we not only provided insights into the questions, working methods and results of our paleoclimate research and climate modelling. We also offered numerous opportunities to enter into direct personal dialogue with our scientists!

An overview on our past events can be found here under “Events”.
Our special exhibition “Understanding Climate” was on display at the Senckenberg Naturmuseum from 21.10.2022 to 16.07.2023!

Some areas of the exhibition were on display in the Messel Pit Visitor Center from 17.08.23 until 04.02.24!
