IMG_7685_danger.jpg On Thursday 19th November 2009 over 31cm of rain fell in 24 hours on the Cumbrian mountains. The single largest rainfall total in the British Isles since records began. It caused unprecedented flooding, with Cockermouth being particularly badly hit after both the Cocker and Derwent burst their banks. The main street was 5 feet underwater and £millions worth of damage was caused. Here a footbridge over the River Derwent in Workingotn is one of many that was destroyed or damaged in the flood.

IMG_8496_dangerous.jpg The jack up barge, The Goliath lifting a 320 tonne transition piece into place on the Walney Offshore windfarm project, off Barrow in Furness, Cumbria, UK. When finished it will have 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 wind farm is owned and constructed by Dong Energy.

IMG_1192_palm.jpg Melt water on the Greenland ice sheet near camp Victor north of Ilulissat. The Greenland ice sheet is the largest ice sheet outside of Antarctica. Temperatues have risen by nine degrees fahrenheit in Greenland in the last 60 years due to human induced climate change. This is causing the ice sheet to melt at unprecedented rates which is deeply worrying as the ice sheet contains enough water to raise global sea levels by nine metres.

IMG_0036_cool.jpg The Russells Glacier draining the Greenland icesheet inland from Kangerlussuaq on Greenlands west coast. This glacier has speeded up in recent years and is also receeding rapidly due to human induced climate change. Greenland has warmed nine degrees fahrenheit in the last 60 years. Scientists believe the glacier is moving faster as increased quantities of meltwater are flowing down through moulins to reach the base of the glacier which then acts as a lubricant and allows the glacier to flow faster.
