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

"Robotsicle," researcher Britney Schmidt's nickname for this photo. Icefin's "face" with instruments and cameras covered in ice after a research dive on the RISE UP research project. Icefin was the first human-made visitor to the grounding line of Thwaites Glacier and is also prepping for a future trip to Jupiter's moon Europa to sea for life in its vast ocean.
