TagueTeamLab leader Naomi Tague and member Will Burke were advisors on the Bren MESM project for Team Citeplan, who spent the last year investigating the relationship between timber management, fire regimes, and wildfire behavior. Now, their findings and deliverables are being sent to a team of researchers at UC Berkeley and to officials at CALContinue reading “Team Citeplan Bren MESM project”

Animated RHESSys output
Scenes from last night’s “Burn Cycle: Living with Fire” event, where users were able to see animations of RHESSys model output, and ‘Walk into Fire’.
Burn Cycle Exhibit Opens Tonight!
The interactive and immersive media experience “Burn Cycle” opens tonight.
New Publication used RHESSys to develop a field sampling strategy
Estimates of snowmelt, root-zone soil moisture storage, and transpiration from the RHESSys model were used to design a soil moisture and sap flux field sampling strategy presented in the new publication “A top‐down soil moisture and sap flux sampling design of a rain‐snow transition mountain watershed”. Son, K., Tague, C. (2019) A top‐down soil moistureContinue reading “New Publication used RHESSys to develop a field sampling strategy”
Do hillslope‐scale processes matter to predicting global change?
Hydrologists, Critical Zone scientists, and Earth System Model developers were brought together to address this question in the new publication “Hillslope hydrology in global change research and Earth system modeling”. Fan, Y., Clark, M., Lawrence, D. M., Swenson, S., Band, L. E., Brantley, S. L., et al. (2019) Hillslope hydrology in global change research and EarthContinue reading “Do hillslope‐scale processes matter to predicting global change?”
A discussion of why watersheds deserve attention
Naomi Tague took part in Westmont College’s Sustainability Speaker Series – “Why Watersheds Deserve Attention“, which featured a variety of panelists across disciplines to focus on pertinent environmental issues. The panel discussion highlighted watersheds as a tribute to The Westmont Ridley Tree Museum of Art’s new exhibit, “Watershed: Contemporary Landscape Photography“.
New Publication – Modeling Urban Hydrology
In this new publication, RHESSys was used to model the processes controlling the relationship between watershed condition and response in an urban watershed, exploring the effects of imperviousness, connectivity, and storm water control measures on runoff and nitrogen loads. Bell, C.D., Tague, C.L., McMillan, S.K. (2019) Modeling runoff and nitrogen loads from a watershed atContinue reading “New Publication – Modeling Urban Hydrology”
Watershed Masterclass
Last week, the Tague Team attended the CUAHSI Master Class: Advanced Techniques in Watershed Science.
Tague presents at AGU
This morning at the 2018 American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in Washington DC, Naomi Tague’s presentation addressed how we visualize and communicate model output and underlying theories in “Animating ‘green stuff’ in hydrologic models: where we are and what is next”.
New Publication in Remote Sensing
This study examined one drought adaptation strategy, changes in planting decisions, using Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) imagery from June 2013, 2014, and 2015 from the Central Valley of California. Shivers, S.W., Roberts, D.A., McFadden, J.P., Tague, C. (2018) Using Imaging Spectrometry to Study Changes in Crop Area in California’s Central Valley during Drought, RemoteContinue reading “New Publication in Remote Sensing”
