IMG_1564_eroded.jpg On saturday 18th July 2009 70 mm of rain fell over the north East UK onto already saturated ground. The river Wear burst its banks, innundating the floodplain around the city of Durham and flooding many properties. As the water in the river started to drop, a section of the banking collapsed into the river. The flood water that was held back on the floodplain now suddenly had a shortcut back into the river. As the floodwaters tore back into the river channel they eroded a huge gully that has been called the Durham Canyon. The erosion feature is up to 15 feet deep, up to 100 feet across and 200 yards long. 12,000 cubic metres of soil were washed into the river from a field of Barley at Shincliffe near Durham. As climate change accelerates such damage from severe weather events will increase.

IMG_2081_cloud seeding.jpg China is in the middle of its worst drought in 50 years, brought on by climate change. Many areas of Northern China are desperately short of water. This has ead the governement to start a cloud seeding program to try and make it rain. Sheels are fired into cloud with silver halide crystals in. These microscopic particles act as nuclei around which rain drops can form. This map shows the firing pattern around the city of Harbin in Heilongjiang Province, Northern China

366W5383_measurement.jpg Scientific equipment measuring the meltwater from the Russell Galcier that drains the Greenland Ice Sheet 26 km inland from Kangerlussuaq. Like most Greenland glaciers it is both receeding and speeding up as a result of global warming and the rivers that drain them are becoming more swollen by greater quantities of melt water

366W5476_sample.jpg Water samples taken from the meltwater river at the snout of the Russell Glacier near Kangerlussuaq in Greenland. These samples were taken by the scientist Ian Bartholemew as part of a PHD study by Edinburgh University. 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.

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
