Deciding on adoption
This study analyses birth mothers’ primary motivations for placing their child for adoption, aiming to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing these choices. The researchers examined open-ended survey question responses from 768 birth mothers who placed a child for private domestic adoption. Four key themes emerged: (1) lack of resources and support for parenting; (2) respondents’ desire for an ideal family environme…

Covid-19 Vaccination and Intention to Vaccinate Among a Sample of College Students in New Jersey
An exploration of the motivations and barriers to being a foster parent in Florida
The impact of the Covid-19 epidemic on mental health of undergraduate students in New Jersey, cross-sectional study
OBJECTIVE: The COVID-19 pandemic has been a period of upheaval for college students. The objective of this study was to assess the factors associated with the increased levels of mental health burden among a sample of undergraduate college students in Northern New Jersey, the region of the U.S. severely impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19. METHODS: College students (N = 162) enrolled in an introductory core curriculum course completed a cross-se…
Tree-Ring Expeditions (Trex)
Here we describe five publicly available online labs, geared to undergraduate students, which focus on foundational tree-ring research. Students are introduced to basic dendrochronological concepts and practices (Lab 1) while learning about research that has implications for human well-being. Students learn about the way scientists use tree-ring records to reconstruct drought in the Hudson Valley in New York (Lab 2), how tree-ring science began t…
Improved dendroclimatic calibration using blue intensity in the southern Yukon
In north-western North America, the so-called divergence problem (DP) is expressed in tree ring width (RW) as an unstable temperature signal in recent decades. Maximum latewood density (MXD), from the same region, shows minimal evidence of DP. While MXD is a superior proxy for summer temperatures, there are very few long MXD records from North America. Latewood blue intensity (LWB) measures similar wood properties as MXD, expresses a similar clim…
Dzuds, droughts, and livestock mortality in Mongolia
Recent incidences of mass livestock mortality, known as dzud, have called into question the sustainability of pastoral nomadic herding, the cornerstone of Mongolian culture. A total of 20 million head of livestock perished in the mortality events of 2000–2002, and 2009–2010. To mitigate the effects of such events on the lives of herders, international agencies such as the World Bank are taking increasing interest in developing tailored market-bas…
Spatiotemporal drought variability for central and eastern Asia over the past seven centuries derived from tree-ring based reconstructions
Boreal temperature variability inferred from maximum latewood density and tree-ring width data, Wrangell Mountain region, Alaska
Variations in both width and density of annual rings from a network of tree chronologies were used to develop high-resolution proxies to extend the climate record in the Wrangell Mountain region of Alaska. We developed a warm-season (July–September) temperature reconstruction that spans A.D. 1593–1992 based on the first eigenvector from principal component analysis of six maximum latewood density (MXD) chronologies. The climate/tree-growth model …
