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

Drilling Coral Samples

Georgia Tech researchers use a hydraulic drill to remove cores from a large fossil coral “rock” on a beach on Fanning Island in the central Pacific. In the laboratory, the cores provide information about the temperature and rainfall changes associated with past El Nino activity. (Georgia Tech Photo: Jordan Watson)
