IMG_9742_volcanic ash.jpg The snout of the Solheimajokull glacier on the Myrdalsjokull ice cap in Iceland. It was melting rapidly due to climate change, but is now melting even faster after the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull covered it in black ash, meaning that it absorbs more of the suns solar radiation. Scientists predict that all of Icelands glaciers will have disappeared within 100 years.

IMG_8763_solar radiation.jpg Solar panels on the roof of the Super AIG Supermarket, on Glenferries road in Hawthorn, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, provide the power for the store. This is the first supermarket in Australia to be powered by solar. Australia has massive potential for solar energy yet continues to generate nearly 90% of its electricity from coal fired power stations.

IMG_7324_climate change_hut.jpg A shelter cabin in the Urho Kekkosen National Park near Saariselka Northern Finland. Climate change has already raised average temperatures by 0.7 oC over the last century. Winters are getting both warmer and wetter and in Southern Finland winters are becoming increasingly snow free. As permafrost melts across the Arctic huge quantities of carbon dioxide and methane could be released leading to even further warming. Such iconic winter scenes could in a relatively short space of time become a thing of the past.

366W2845.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. Here Dr Jeff Warburton from Durham University inspects a device for measuring the solar radiation falling on the bog.
