IMG_a9936_o.jpg PHD scientist Ian Bartholomew taking measurements as part of a study to measure the speed of the Russell Glacier near Kangerlussuag Greenland. The study is looking at how increasing quantities of melt water caused by climate change are affecting the glaciers speed which like most glaciers in Greenland has speeded up considerably in the last 20 years. It is thought that the meltwater helps lubricates the glaciers base enabling it to flow faster. As part of the study reflective poles were drilled 4 metres into the ice to measure their speed at various positions on the glacier. Within a month all the poles had fallen over as the glacier melted down over 4 metres

The study is looking at how increasing quantities of melt water caused by climate change are affecting the glaciers speed which like most glaciers in Greenland has speeded up considerably in the last 20 years. It is thought that the meltwater helps lubricates the glaciers base enabling it to flow faster.

366W2923.jpg Dr Jeff Warburton of Durham University downloads data from a bed load logger from a river in Moor House National Nature Reserve in Upper Teesdale Cumbria UK. This experiment measures the movement of bed load materials over time. Most movement and erosion occurs during peak flows following wet weather. An increase in stormy weather due to global warming will lead to more frequent erosion events.

IMG_0333.jpg On Friday 20th July 2007 up to 5 inches of rain fell across central and southern England on already saturated ground. Rivers rose rapidly and by saturday flooding started to occur along the Severn corridor. Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire was particularly badly hit where the rivers Severn and Avon meet. River's rose to unprecedented levels causing the worst ever floods. Thousands of homes were inundated with people haing to be evacuated, many by boat or by Sea King helicopter. The Myth water treatment plant in the town was also flooded, cutting off water supplies to around 350,000 people, with the water predicted to be off for up to 2 weeks. Many also had their electricity supplies cut off as sub stations were affected by the floods. Estimates for the cost of the  devastating and unprecedented summer floods are arounf £5 billion. The Tewkesbury floods made news around the world. Here the Germans put their towel down first
