IMG_0253_cotton grass.jpg Icebergs from the Jacobshavn glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq drains 7% of the Greenland ice sheet and is the largest glacier outside of Antarctica. It calves enough ice in one day to supply New York with water for one year. It is one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day (19 metres per day before 2002) and has also receeded rapidly (40 km since 1850) due to human induced climate change as temperatures have risen in Greenland by 9 degrees fahrenheit in the last 60 years. An underwater moraine at the mouth of the fjord grounds the largest icebergs causing a backlog of ice completely blocking the entire length of the fjord with ice.

366W6386_cotton grass.jpg Colourful houses in Illulisat on Greenland. Ilulissat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the Jacobshavn Glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq which is the largest glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier drains 7% of the Greenland ice sheet and produces enough water from calving icebergs in one day to provide New York with water for 1 year. Climate change has meant the glacier has speeded up and is now one of the fastest glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day and is also receeding rapidly

366W2871.jpg A research project by Dr Jeff Warburton of Durham University measuring wind erosion on the upland blanket peat bog at Moor House Upper Teesdale. As global warming leads to an increase in stormy weather and associated high winds it is expected that wind erosion of the peat bog will increase

366W2894.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. Warming temperatures have resulted in increased plant productivity and has lead to colonisation of once bare areas of the peat bog. This picture shows research by Dr Jeff Warburton who is measuring wind erosion on the peat bog. When the markers were first placed they were in bare peat but have subsequently been covered by recolonising cotton grass
