Pacific Garbage Patch
Saturday, June 21st, 2008After watching the first episode of the Gorilla in the Greenhouse I was interested and a little shocked to learn about the pacific garbage patch.

The site also has two short introductions to the Gyre and the ocean currents that leads to the garbage patch, if you can cope with the overexcited presenter and can stop wondering why the experts are so close… The second video is here.

Pre-Release 2008- Final KES Posts- Goodbye Alan!
Friday, June 20th, 2008Some final KES posts from Alan for the pre-release exam. The first is about Greenland, some useful questions related to the climate data and some website suggestions for wider reading. The second is about organic farming. Alan has also posted about stripy icebergs, remember that one of your physical processes is basal slippage, this ultimately leads to the formation of icebergs.
One of Alan’s students explains the stripy nature in the comments section.
Finally a nice comment from Alan about us. Sadly Alan won’t be blogging at KES after summer, because he moves on to a post at the Geographical Association, we are indebted for his help and support over the last two years. Good luck with your new position from all at Kirk Hallam.
Fear not year 10, Mrs Clarke will continue.
