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

One would think that Venice, of all places, would have plans upon backup plans for how to deal with rising tides. After all, the famous Italian tourist destination is built on more than 100 islands linked by canals and 400-plus bridges. But even Venice can't escape the effects of climate change, which now threatens the city's cultural and artistic heritage. This National Public Radio program includes comments from Georgia Tech Provost Rafael Bras, who is also the K. Harrison Brown Family Chair and Professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
