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

Rodney WeberImagine you're sitting in rush hour traffic somewhere in Southern California, and you hear this story about a new study warning you that sitting in rush hour traffic can be worse for your health than previously thought. You learn that the researchers, including Rodney Weber, professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, studied Atlanta traffic. Somehow that doesn't make you feel any better; Weber's team found toxic particulate pollution is worse on a freeway than off, and pollution levels are higher during the morning commute than the afternoon drive home.
