IMG_1229_uplift.jpg Dong Energy are building the Walney offshore wind farm, off the Cumbrian coast, UK. When finished the farm will consist of 102, 3.6 MW turbines, giving a total capacity of the Walney project of 367.2 MW, enough to power 320,000 homes. The rotor diameter of the turbines is 107m for Walney 1 and 120 m for Walney 2. The turbines are shipped into the UK and stored at Mostyn port in North Wales. From here they are picked up by a jack up barge, that sails out to the construction site to build the turbines. This shot shows the jack up barge, the Krakken, with a nacelle bieng lifted aboard.

366W2475_climate change_sea cave.jpg Evidence of past climate change and glaciation. Raised beach platforms and an old raised sea cave caused by isostatic rebound near Oban Scotland UK. During an ice age the weight of ice on the land depresses it. Isostatic rebound is caused when the weight of ice is removed by melting. This causes the land to rebound and rise up leaving coastal features raised above the present day sea level.

Raised beach platforms and old raised sea cliffs caused by isostatic rebound on the Isle of Kerrera off Oban Scotland UK. During an ice age the weight of ice on the land depresses it. Isostatic rebound is caused when the weight of ice is removed by melting. This causes the land to rebound and rise up leaving coastal features raised above the present day sea level.
