IMG_9745 (1)_p.jpg PHD scientist Ian Bartholomews theodolite tripod being used to measure the speed of the Russelll Glacier near Kangerlussuag Greenland. 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

IMG_4816_stream.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.

IMG_3225_hot air balloon.jpg The Abbey gardens on Tresco, one of the Scilly Isles, off South West Cornwall, UK, renowned for its tropical plants which are able to grow due to the Gulf Stream, or North Atlantic Drift. This is a warm ocean current which keeps the island warmer than they would otherwise be for their latitude, and also frost free.  Scientists have already recorded a slowing down of the Gulf Stream caused by climate change. As cold fresh water pours off the arctic ice sheets, it prevents the denser salty water from sinking, which is the start of the conveyor.

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.

IMG_0454_skidoo.jpg Tourists riding through a stinking fog of exhaust fumes from skidoos on the Langjokull ice sheet in Iceland. Like all of Iceland's glaciers it is retreating rapidly due to climate change. Scientists predict that all Icelands glaciers will be gone within 100 years. It is rather ironic that the tour guide mentioned  they have to drive further to reach the ice sheet every year.
