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

SSLS_Cema_HeaderRandall Mathews and Russ Clark are co-leads of the Smart Sea Level Sensors (SSLS) team, together with Georgia Tech’s Dr. Kim Cobb and the City of Savannah Office of Sustainability director Nick Deffley. The team just published a dashboard that allows for real-time flood visualization to aid in emergency planning and response in Chatham County.
The dashboard draws data from a growing network of 52 internet-enabled sea level sensors installed near waterways and bridges within Chatham County. Designed to use mostly off-the-shelf parts and approximately the size of a shoebox, the sensors were assembled through a partnership with local students and community groups, including the Harambee House, a Savannah-area organization that works with at-risk communities to build capacity around resolving social, economic, and environmental issues.
