Invasive Phragmites provides superior wave and surge damage protection relative to native plants during storms by Y Peter Sheng, Adail A Rivera-Nieves, Ruizhi Zou, Vladimir A Paramygin, Christine Angelini, Sean J Sharp

“…Observed and simulated wind and water level data along the Hudson River were used as boundary conditions. Model results showed that the Marsh, with predominantly invasive Phragmites australis, dissipated more than half of the wave energy, but negligible flood, at the Village during Sandy. …”

An interdisciplinary framework for evaluating 19th century landscape paintings for ecological research by Dana R. Warren, Harper M. Loeb, Peter Betjemann, Isabel A. Munck, William S. Keeton, David C. Shaw, Eleanor J. Harvey

“…While this paper explores 19th century landscape art broadly, we focus our art historical review in particular on Asher Durand, a prolific and influential artist associated with the so‐called “Hudson River School” in the mid‐1800s. Durand left clear records about his perspectives on accurately depicting nature, and from a review of images and writings of Durand, we find support for the potential use of many of his paintings and sketches in historic forest ecology research. …”

Perfluoroalkyl substances and thyroid function in older adults by Srishti Shrestha, Michael S. Bloom, Recai Yucel, Richard F. Seegal, Qian Wu, Kurunthachalam Kannan, Robert Rej, Edward F. Fitzgerald

“…We conducted a cross-sectional study of 87 men and women 55 to 74 years of age, without clinically-diagnosed thyroid disease, who resided in upper Hudson River communities in New York. Geometric means (standard deviations) of serum PFOS and PFOA were 31.6 (1.7) ng/mL and 9.17 (1.72) ng/mL, respectively. …”
