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.

Recent Publications
- New publication: interactions between biophysical & climatic parameters and fuel treatmentsThis new publication from Burke et al. uses RHESSys to model effects across a range of variables.
- New publication on urban energy balanceThe authors examine urban energy flux variability across landcover and climate gradients of urbanized Los Angeles County.
- Visualization and Ecohydrologic Models: Opening the BoxNaomi Tague and James Frew outline a framework for increasing the usefulness of ecohydrologic models through better visualization.
- Hanan’s commentary on MegafiresDr. Erin Hanan wrote a timely commentary addresses the debate on fires in the West.
- New Publication! Snow, runoff, and counteracting influencesThis research highlights how runoff losses/gains due to changes in snow dynamics as a result of climate change are mediated by site specific conditions.
- New Book: Mountains in the GreenhouseLongtime Tague Team Lab collaborator Don McKenzie just published a new book – a great, accessible, science book for the public introduction to the mountains we study and enjoy soContinue reading “New Book: Mountains in the Greenhouse”
