Global Grounded Ice
From MoxyWiki
Currently the Earth has permanent ice in the icecaps of Antarctica and Greenland, plus much smaller permanent glaciers in various mountain regions of the world. This ice is "permanent", however, only over the short timespan of modern human civilization.
The volume of ice that is grounded (ie in touch with the ground as opposed to floating) is 30.087 M km3info.pngiceSheets = sparql("select ?IceSheet ?Volume where{?IceSheet rdf:type cat:Ice_Sheet. ?IceSheet prop:Grounded TRUE. ?IceSheet prop:Volume ?Volume.}")
