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

Researchers in Durham have found the fringes of the world’s largest ice sheet are being threatened by warmer summers in a first of its kind study. The researchers found the size of lakes on the surface of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet varied wildly over a seven-year period, and could be key to showing the potential impact of recent climate change on the continent. Vincent Verjans, a postdoctoral associate in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, contributed to the study.
