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

John Trostel, director of GTRI’s Severe Storms Research Center, and his team recently detected infrasound waves from the massive volcanic explosion that rocked the Pacific Island nation of Tonga. Carried through the atmosphere, infrasound can travel thousands of miles without being dissipated, but can’t be heard by human ears because its frequency is too low. The SSRC is developing new ways to track tornadoes by detecting the infrasound they produce.
