Changes coming to the tabs!
Based on your comments - and on finding somewhere to squeeze in the upcoming new tab on the SGCN Workshop - I've taken up the task of consolidating the tabs you see on the main page and de-cluttering the resource pages. First (and already completed), you'll notice that all of the features that allow you to interact with other SGCN members directly - the chat feature, forums, notes, and blogs - are now all together under the "SGCN Community" tab. Second (and ongoing), we're compiling all of the resources under the new "Climate Resources" tab. This will eventually include consolidating the "Focus Areas" and "Resources" (now "Sea Grant Resources" tabs under the Climate Resources heading. I'm also going through and moving around some resources so they fit into the proper categories, making it easier for you to find what you need. Meanwhile, the new University of South Carolina graduate student working with us, Shilpi Chhotray, is busy compiling and annotating some new resources that we'll be adding shortly. So pardon our dust, and check back often for the new and improved resources!

Possible record-setting dead zone for Gulf of Mexico
Scientists are expecting a very large “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico and a smaller than average hypoxic level in the Chesapeake Bay this year, based on several NOAA-supported forecast models.NOAA releases draft proposal to expand Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary
NOAA today released for public comment a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) and proposed rule for expanding the boundaries of Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary in Lake Huron from its current 448 square miles to 4,300 square miles.2012 ranks as 2nd costliest year with 11 billion-dollar disasters causing more than $110 billion in damages
Sandy caused approximately $65 billion and drought nearly $30 billion in damage, according to a final report by NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.NASA Climate Science
Scientists find ancient microbes in Antarctic lake
In one of the most remote lakes of Antarctica, nearly 65 feet (19.8 meters) beneath the icy surface, scientists have uncovered a community of bacteria.Drygalski Ice Tongue, Antarctica

Outlook is grim for mammals and birds as human population grows
The ongoing global growth in the human population will inevitably crowd out mammals and birds and has the potential to threaten hundreds of species with extinction within 40 years, new research shows.Siberian caves warn of permafrost meltdown
Climate records captured in Siberian caves suggest 1.5 degrees of warming is enough to trigger thawing of permafrost, according to a new article.Contribution of particulate matter from air pollution to forest decline
Air pollution is related to forest decline and also appears to attack the protecting wax on tree leaves and needles. Scientists have now discovered a responsible mechanism: particulate matter salt compounds that become deliquescent because of humidity and form a wick-like structure that removes water from leaves and promotes dehydration.
