It is hard to imagine that they were once permanently covered in ice and snow. When global warming took effect at the end of the Ice Age, the snowfields began to melt and melt water flowed south.

  • Advisory Visit Pickering Beck – Duchy Water 30-08-2011
    Advisory Visit Pickering Beck – Duchy Water 30-08-2011 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Paul Gaskell of the Wild Trout Trust to the Duchy Water on Pickering Beck on August 30th, 2011. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Tony Walsh and Dave Southall of Pickering Fishery Association (http://www.pickeringfishery.co.uk/ ). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 1.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The Duchy Water on the Pickering Beck flows over the limestone and calcareous sandstone bedrock of the North Yorkshire Moors to the northeast of Pickering. Bedrock deposits are overlain with a superficial alluvium of clay, silt, sand as well as gravel and the beck runs parallel to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway line for much of its course upstream of Pickering. Below the town of Pickering, the Pickering Beck merges with Costa Beck close to Kirby Misperton, that in turn merges with first the Rye and then the Derwent close to Wykeham. Much of the river upstream of Pickering enjoys a conservation designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and also falls within a Catchment Sensitive Farming priority catchment. Furthermore, the catchment is also the beneficiary of a novel flood risk management scheme instigated in 2009 at a cost of around £700K. The project seeks to use land management techniques to increase the time taken for rainfall in the upper catchment to reach the housing and urbanised sections of the downstream catchment (http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/news/105562.aspx ).

Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Ian Cowx, for allowing me to have such a fantastic opportunity to work with him, also for his valuable feedback and guidance over the course of my MSc. I would also like to thank all the HIFI team especially Jon Harvey, for answering all my questions and Andy Nunn for all his technical support. Much appreciation goes to the Environment Agency for providing me with the data to undertake this study. I especially appreciated the help of John Shannon for the enlightening days out on the walk-over survey. A big thank you must go to all the supporting staff I have come across during my time at University; Biological Sciences, Disability Services and Graduate School. I would like to thank my closest friends, Tom, Charlie, Dan, Jordan, Dom, Chris, Togay and Alex for all being such amazing friends and for your support and continual efforts to keep me driven but not forgetting all the wonderful people I have met during my studies. A special thank you cannot be missed for, Christina Titlow (and the girls) for putting up with me through the ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ and above all keeping a smile on my face! Finally, an enormous thank you goes to my family.

  • River Response to Recent Environmental Change in the Yorkshire Ouse Basin, Northern England
    River response to recent environmental change in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England. Sean Anthony Longfield, B.Sc. (H ons) 'N/ Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Geography July 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the w'ork of others II A b s t r a c t Longfield, S.A. 1998. River response to recent environmental change in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England. University of Leeds, Ph.D. This study examines historical variations in flood frequency and magnitude in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England, over the last 900 years. The causes of temporal and spatial variations in flooding are evaluated through investigation of climatic and land-use controls. Documentary evidence of flooding and climate suggests that a series of large floods between 1263 and 1360 were associated with climatic deterioration from the Medieval Optimum. A shift to generally milder conditions between 1361 and 1549 resulted in no floods being documented in the Ouse basin The frequency of large magnitude floods increased dramatically between 1550 and 1680, as a result of low temperatures, increased surface wetness, more frequent snowfall and a southward shift of prevailing storm tracks over middle latitudes, associated with the onset of the "Little Ice Age’. In contrast, during a wanner phase of the Little Ice Age, between 1681 and 1763, the frequency of localised summer flooding increased in the Ouse basin due to more frequent high intensity, short duration convective storms.
