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

New research from the University of Texas and Georgia Tech has revealed humans are likely responsible for rapidly melting glaciers. The study, published July 13 in the journal The Cryosphere, used computer models to test how global warming impacted glaciers. The team said its research could help predict when major ice loss would occur and the impact it could have on Earth’s oceans and climate. The Georgia Tech researchers from the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences include John Christian, postdoctoral fellow, and Alex Robel, assistant professor. (The study was also covered at Phys.org.)
