Landscape effects of wind farm development are localized, but the clean-energy gains are momentous.
The technique requires long exposures, allowing the camera to capture the ephemeral effects of wind and weather.
"We were running up and down a runway in the spring, testing the effects of wind pressure at different speeds".
While WET has mastered water, and is working on fire, it is powerless against the effects of wind.
In reality, most if not all of the health effects of wind farms may turn out to be those generated by the activities of anti-wind power groups.
Then, about 10 million years ago, the western edge of the continent began to rise, exposing the newly elevated highlands to the corrosive effects of wind and rain.
Even so, the old chart turned out to have exaggerated the effects of wind, in some cases by just a few degrees.
The final report also recommends that the national health and medical research council should research the ill health effects of wind turbines, a syndrome for which no evidence has been found.
"Given the poor quality of current direct evidence and the concern expressed by some members of the community, high-quality research into possible health effects of wind farms, particularly within 1,500 metres, is warranted," it said.
Wind has the potential to supply 40% of Australia's energy needs, the report says, but the industry has been blighted by the "considerable attention" placed on the perceived health effects of wind turbines.
When a glacier scored a great gash across the prairie during the most recent ice age, the Cretaceous sediment and all its incomparable freight of fossils were exposed to the weathering effects of wind and rain.
