There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The research of Miranda Wilson (Graduate Student, School of Biology) was recently featured on the website of NortekUSA. The work, done in the labs of Dr. Marc Weissburg (Professor, School of Biology) and Dr. Don Webster (Professor, School of Civil & Environmental Engineering), employed Nortek Vector velocimeters.
The goals of the research were to gain an understanding of how turbulent water flow in intertidal salt marsh and oyster reef systems impacts foraging by odor-mediated predators, and the subsequent community-level effects on population abundances and distributions.
