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, Georgia Power Chair and ADVANCE Professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and director of Georgia Tech's Global Change Program, is one of the lead authors of the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations analysis of 14,000 research studies on what humans are doing to the environment. The U.N. is calling this year's report "a code red for humanity," yet adds there is still time for governments to reverse potentially catastrophic rises in the planet's temperatures and sea levels. But they must act now. Besides the Washington Post, other coverage featuring Cobb includes: DemocracyNow, The Hill, WSYR-Syracuse, The Nation, The Pink Report News, the Atlantic, NPR, USA Today, ScienceNews, PBS NewsHour, NPR All Things Considered, Los Angeles Times, Scientific American, Yahoo! Finance.
