	Dvorak Uncensored » World’s largest scientific instrument nearing completion — encompasses one cubic ...
		An international team of scientists and engineers has taken a major step toward completion of what will be the world’s preeminent cosmic neutrino observatory, harnessing a sophisticated hot-water drill to build an observatory under the South Pole that eventually will encompass a cubic kilometer of ice.
		When IceCube is completed, a cubic kilometer of the ice beneath the Pole will have been seeded with more than 4,200 optical sensors to capture telltale traces of the neutrinos and follow their tracks back to their distant points of origin.
		Volume of a cubic kilometer is 1,000,000,000 cubic meters.

		That period of intense activity closed with the enormous 1669 eruption, when one cubic kilometer of magma was released from the plumbing system of the volcano in only four months.
		The mean eruption rate during the full period from 1763 to 1865 was 0.2 cubic meters per second, the whole amounting to 0.75 cubic kilometers - still quite a small quantity as compared to the 3 cubic kilometers erupted between 1600 and 1669.
		The total volume of eruptive products since 1865 is about 1.7 cubic kilometers, corresponding to an average output rate of nearly 0.4 cubic meters per second, twice that of the 1763-1865 period.

		Total ejecta volume was 30-35 cubic kilometers; magma volume was 12-15 cubic kilometers.
		The ignimbrite vent is marked by a 2-kilometer-wide backfilled depression, near the middle of which is nested the 500-meter-wide vent of the post-ignimbrite plinian dacite eruptions.
		The expulsion of such a large volume of magma excavated a funnel-shaped vent 2 kilometers wide and triggered the collapse of Mount Katmai volcano 10 kilometers away to form a summit caldera 600 meters deep and about 3 kilometers across.

		It is this lack of viscosity (defined) that enables basaltic lava to form the massive "flood basalt provinces" we're discussing.
		The only flood basalt in recorded history spilled 12 cubic kilometers of lava across Iceland in 1783, releasing enough gas to cause Benjamin Franklin to write about a wierd, dense "dry fog" in Europe that contained no water.
		The gases, containing fluoride from the eruption, settled on the pastures in Iceland, poisoning the critical sheep herds and causing starvation that killed 20 percent of the population.

	Technology Review: Dividing the Water
		The renewable freshwater supply on land-that made available year after year by the solar-powered hydrologic cycle in the form of precipitation-totals some 110,300 cubic kilometers (1 cubic kilometer equals 1 billion cubic meters), a mere 0.008 percent of all the water on earth.
		The remainder, just over one-third of the renewable supply-about 40,700 cubic kilometers per year-is runoff, the flow of freshwater from land to sea through rivers, streams, and underground aquifers.
		To add to the remaining one-fourth that is accessible, engineers have built large dams and reservoirs, raising the stable supply of water provided by underground aquifers and year-round river flows by about half.

	NASA - Greenland Ice Loss Doubles in Past Decade, Raising Sea Level Faster
		The researchers estimated the ice mass loss resulting from enhanced glacier flow increased from 63 cubic kilometers in 1996 to 162 cubic kilometers in 2005.
		Combined with the increase in ice melt and in snow accumulation over that same time period, they determined the total ice loss from the ice sheet increased from 96 cubic kilometers in 1996 to 220 cubic kilometers in 2005.
		To put this into perspective, a cubic kilometer is one trillion liters (approximately 264 billion gallons of water), about a quarter more than Los Angeles uses in one year.
