Guided Tour "Watercourses and Climate of Luxembourg"

exhibition
Floods and droughts are among the world's most severe natural disasters. After catastrophes, modern societies are often incapable of effectively anticipating these dangers, frequently due to neglecting lessons from the past. Instrumental measures generally cover only the last 200 to 300 years, providing an incomplete picture of climate changes. This lack of data can lead to significant errors in judgment. The catastrophic floods of the nearby Ahr River in 2021 are an example. Statistical models considered this event as very rare, but historical reconstructions show similar floods in 1804 and 1910. The temporary exhibition "Watercourses and Climate of Luxembourg over Time" sheds light on this issue using historical instruments, documents, and meteorological and climatic records dating back over 175 years. It offers a unique opportunity to discover the evolution of watercourses and climate measurements in Luxembourg. Join us for an extraordinary guided tour of this exhibition, resulting from a collaboration between the Section of Sciences of the Grand Ducal Institute, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), and the National Museum of Natural History of Luxembourg.
