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

Two new studies show that 2018 could be another tough year for the world's oceans, its coral reefs, and its marine life, thanks to climate change. Lower oxygen levels caused by global warming are creating more complex problems than previously thought. Kim Cobb, a professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences who didn't participate in either study, comments on their findings.
