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

R/V OceanusSchool of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Assistant Professor Jennifer Glass blogs from the sea, off the coast of Western Mexico, aboard R/V Oceanus, owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by Oregon State University. "Ocean waves stretch to the horizon on all sides of us," Glass writes. "Boats passing by would never expect this area of the ocean is different from any other. Yet, hiding beneath the surface is the largest anoxic water body on modern Earth."
