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

Kim CobbOne of those scientists sounding bleak alarms about what climate change is doing to coral reefs is Kim Cobb, professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and an oft-quoted source on environmental science issues. She responds to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists warning this week in media reports that reefs near Hawaii, Florida, and the Caribbean, already affected by bleaching, could disappear within the next few decades.
