RHESSys Lab Meeting

In today’s RHESSys lab meeting, Aubrey Dugger presented the work she has been doing utilizing tree ring data to validate her RHESSys model runs in the Santa Fe municipal watershed, and Ian McCullough presented the work he will be doing in the Tejon watershed utilizing tree ring data. We were fortunate to have Tom Swetnam,Continue reading “RHESSys Lab Meeting”

BioEarth Meeting

Naomi Tague and Elizabeth Garcia are attending the BioEarth Stakeholder meeting at the University of Washington in Pullman, Washington, this week. RHESSys is one of the models integrated into the BioEarth framework with the goal of creating a regional modeling framework for the Pacific Northwest to improve understanding of the interactions among carbon, nitrogen, andContinue reading “BioEarth Meeting”

WFire Integration Meeting

Naomi Tague met with Don McKenzie and Maureen Kennedy (University of Washington) in Seattle about the integration of a fire model into RHESSys. They plan to move forward with testing the integration on individual fires and fire regimes in the Northwest and Southwest US, and are planning on there being a working version this Fall.

Congratulations Taehee!

Congratulations to Taehee Hwang (postdoctoral associate at UNC Chapel Hill), who just accepted a faculty position in the Geography Department at Indiana University. Taehee has been a valuable collaborator with our ecohydrology lab, and we hope he will continue to be in the future. All the best to you Taehee in your new venture!

Watershed Science Masterclass

Naomi Tague was part of a team with Jeff McDonnell (University of Saskatchewan), Peter Troch (University of Arizona), and Richard Hooper (executive directory of CUAHSU), who taught this week-long course focusing on hydrologic and biogeochemical watershed processes, including theory, experimental design, and modeling. Dr. Tague taught about cutting edge concepts in hydrologic modeling, including innovativeContinue reading “Watershed Science Masterclass”

New Publication! RHESSys used for research in the Spanish Pyrenees

Dr. Tague worked with with researches at the Pyrenean Institute of Ecology using RHESSys in the first simulations of combined land cover and climate change in the hydrology of the Pyrenees and the management of a Pyrenean reservoir under future scenarios. J.I. López-Moreno, J. Zabalza, S.M. Vicente-Serrano, J. Revuelto, M. Gilaberte, C. Azorin-Molina, E. Morán-Tejeda,Continue reading “New Publication!
