(I think I'm supposed to use residence time?)
About 30,000 years ago, during the last glacial maximum, glaciers and ice sheets
stored enough water to decrease the sea level by 120 m. Presently, there are about
3.05x106 km3 of ice contained within the Greenland glacial mass and 26.4 x106 km3 of
ice on the Antarctic continent. Calculate how much water would have to be removed
from the ocean and placed into these glacial masses to account for the decrease in ocean
volume during that time: ____ km3.
