Volcanoes and Climate Change in Antarctica

Adam Soule from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution talks about his volcano research and how Antarctica is sensitive to climate change. As a volcanologist, he will study the lava flows of the past, an important process in an actively evolving planet such as Earth. The products of volcanic eruptions cover more than 2/3's of the Earth's surface and are primary means for transferring heat and mass from the Earth's interior.

Scientists say we've got tons of cosmic dust falling down every year on Earth - bigger chunks are meteorites. So I think we can assume the mass of Earth is growing :-)

Thanks for the video. I know my question is not related to Volcanos' however it is related to the earth. Is the Earths mass changing? or has it changed?
