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 CobbAccording to a new study, entire stretches of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef have died and eventually recovered five times in the past 30,000 years—and it may be happening again today. The study “holds some really important lessons” for understanding how resilient corals are in the face of change, and how quickly they recover after catastrophic events, says Kiim Cobb. She is a professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. She wasn’t involved in the work.
