366W2826_p.jpg Moor House National Nature Reserve in the North Pennines has been a site of scientific research going back 50 years. Weather records show a gradual warming over the last 50 years and a dramatic decline in winter snow cover. This has started to alter some of the specialised arctic plant communities and has also affected the carbon budget of the upland blanket peat bog. Peat bogs should be carbon sinks but due to rising temperatures the carbon budget of the bogs is changeing to a carbon deficit. The picture shows the specialist equipment used to measure carbon release from the peat bog.

IMG_2019_p.jpg Kinglake was one of the worst affected communities of the catastrophic 2009 Australian Bush Fires in the state of Victoria. 173 people were killed and many more left injured and traumatised, with 7000 left homeless. The fires were as a result of a prolonged drought and extreme high temperatures, conditions that are being exaserbated by climate change. One year on, the survivors are still living in emergency housing constructed on the edge of the town.

IMG_0591_fire map.jpg Following the warmest and driest April on record, moorland fires broke out across the UK. Ogden Moor near Wainstalls above Halifax was one of many victims. Several square Km of moorland burned for four days. The blaze was tackled by fire fighters, but despite their efforts the blaze destroyed valuable moorland habitat, killing mammals and amphibians and destroying nesting birds nests. The wind farm was also closed down for a number of days as the blades were a danger to the helicopters fighting the blaze with aerial water drops. This shot shows the area of moorland that was affected and closed off to public access.

IMG_4613_emergency.jpg On Saturday 16th January 2010, after the floods and the big freeze in Ambleside, flooding meltwater got into the gas main pipes and shut down the system. Around 5000 users were affected as the whole of Amblesides gas was shut dopwn. The National Grid reacted with emergency respone units to deal with the situation. This left many vulnerable people without heating and cooking facilities at a very cold time of the year. This shot shows electric fan heaters and electric plate cookers being handed out to residents to help cope with the emergency.
