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

The study's researchers, led by the University of Auckland, found a mass exodus of nearly 50,000 species including fish, mollusks, birds and corals that have moved poleward since 1955. Kim Cobb, Georgia Power Chair and Advance Professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, wasn't involved in the study, but weighs in on how fast the Earth's temperature has risen due to human activity.
