IMG_4819_tree.jpg Climate change is leading to earlier snow melt in the spring on the Sierra Nevada mountains of southern Spain. Many specialist species of flowering plant surive in this botanists paradise. Scientists have found that plants are migrating upwards and changing altitude zones as temperatures rise. also species that thrive around snow pack are also changing, as the snow melts earlier. Trees are also responding by being able to survive at higher altitudes. This tree is growing at over 8,000 feet.

IMG_9942_heimaey town.jpg On 23 January 1973 a 2 km long fissure opened up spewing out lava forming a new vocanoe, Eldfell. The lava flow threatened Heimaey town, on Heimaey in the Westmand Islands off Iceland's south coast. The lava and ash buried and destroyed one third of the town and threatened the harbour, the life line for the islands. The whole island was evacuated. A novel technique of pumping sea water onto the lava front, solidified the flowing mass and diverted the lava flow away from the harbour. When the eruption ceased in June, Heimaey was 2km bigger. This shots shows houses that survived just behind the lava flow.

IMG_2761_drought.jpg Red Gum trees are iconic Australian trees that grow along the banks of the Murray River. They rely on a regular flood cycle to survive. The unprecedented drought of the last 15 years has lead to low river levels on the Murray River. This and upstream dams taking water out for irrigation has vastly reduced the seasonal flooding. As a result 75% of the Red gums are either dead or dying. Climate change will only increase the likelihood that these trees and the wild life that they support are left increasingly vulnerable.
