What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Between that and the luxury infinity pools for the private clubs for the ultra wealthy, we’re gonna need more water up there, better build a pipeline up the mountains from the closest village
Nestlé heavy breathing
enough frozen water to fill 600 Olympic swimming pools
bruh
How much is that in elephants?
Reeeee!
That...is going to be very very bad for anyone downhill pretty soon.
Under the February 2026 World Aquatics rules, the minimum dimensions for an Olympic Games or World Championships pool are 50 m × 25 m × 2.5 m, a rectangular volume of 3.125 million litres.
So 600 Olympic swimming pools would be approximately 1,875 million (1.875B) litres or 495.3 million gallons.
That's not that much...?
600 olympic swimming pools store 1,500,000,000 liters.
In the US due to ineffecient water use the average person consumes 300 liters of tap water per day (compared to e.g. the Netherlands with 130 L per person/day).
That's enough water for 5,000,000 person days.
