Tague Team Lab
Ecohydrology Research Lab based at the University of California Santa Barbara’s Bren School of Environmental Science and Management.
About Us
Our Research
The research in our lab uses advanced data science techniques to understand how water, plants, geology and climate interact in a tightly coupled system – and how humans are changing this system.
