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 Cobb comments in another coverage of a new study in Nature Geoscience. The study found that the Great Barrier Reef has experienced death and resurrection five times in the past 30,000 years. Cobb, a professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, wasn't involved in the study. “We can and should use this study to gather the clues to reef resilience through dramatic climate changes of the past,” Cobb says.
