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

Scientists are working hard to understand how and why the world's ice shelves are melting, but gathering on-site data from volatile ice sheets is too dangerous for humans. Ayanna Howard, of the Center for Robotics and Intelligent Machines, led a project to create specially designed robots to traverse these potentially dangerous ice environments. Source: Eurekalert
