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

In a new study, researchers describe pumping carbon dioxide-infused seawater across a patch of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. It's an extraordinary way to bring research from the laboratory into the real world. The results? The carbon dioxide-infused seawater suppressed growth by a third. "It's a silent killer," says Kim Cobb, of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, who was asked to comment on the study.
