Tague lab part of a new multi-UC campus research grant

The Tague lab will take part in a three-year project to improve the projection of water resources under a range of future scenarios, titled “Headwaters to Groundwater: Resources in a Changing Climate,” led by UCSB Professor Jeff Dozier, and also includes researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UCLA, and UC Merced.

New approach to model initialization of vegetation published

New publication from Tague Team Lab member Dr. Erin Hanan et al. about a new approach for initializing vegetation stores in a watershed model. Typical initialization methods such as spin‐up to steady state (which assumes uniform vegetation age across a landscape) or remote sensing with allometric relationships (which are species and region specific and doContinue reading “New approach to model initialization of vegetation published”

New publication – carbon allocation representation in models

New publication just out in JAMES where RHESSys was used to compare carbon allocation strategies in different grassland sites: “Assessing the Impact of Parameter Uncertainty on Modeling Grass Biomass Using a Hybrid Carbon Allocation Strategy“. Reyes, J. J., Tague, C. L., Evans, R. D., & Adam, J. C. (2017). Assessing the impact of parameter uncertainty onContinue reading “New publication – carbon allocation representation in models”

Lab members talk about water issues

Naomi Tague took part as a faculty panel member at the “Lets Talk About Water” event last week, organized by Tague Team Lab members Ty Brandt and Kate Voss, who also gave flash talks of their research, along with lab member Chris Heckman. This campus and community wide water event, co-funded by CUASHI, ERI, andContinue reading “Lab members talk about water issues”

Lab members present at Fire Prediction Conference

Last week, Tague Team Lab members Erin Hanan and Ryan Bart presented their research at the 2017 Conference on Fire Prediction Across Scales, a Columbia University Initiative on Extreme Weather and Climate event. Bart’s presentation: Development of a coupled model for investigating the effects of forest management and climate on wildfire regimes in the westernContinue reading “Lab members present at Fire Prediction Conference”
