Dr. Tague interviewed on NPR
Naomi Tague was interviewed by KCLU’s Lance Orozco about drought and tree mortality in California. The interview comes just after the recent publication in New Phytologist, which Dr. Tague is a co-author – “Tree mortality from drought, insects, and their interactions in a changing climate”. The interview was broadcast on National Public Radio on Friday, June 12.
New Publication & Press Release
Dr. Tague, as a member of UC Santa Barbara’s National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), collaborated on a new publication that will appear in New Phytologist this month (an early view of the publication is now available online), “Tree mortality from drought, insects, and their interactions in a changing climate”. The study examines the interactions between drought and insects, and their impact on forest health. Dr. Tague appears in a UCSB press release highlighting the study’s research.

New Publication Accepted!
New publication accepted to Ecohydrology: Peng, H., Tague, C., and Jia, Y. Evaluating the eco-hydrological impacts of reforestation in the Loess Plateau, China using an eco-hydrological model. Access online
Dr. Tague collaborated with PhD student Hui Peng (Key Laboratory of Marine Environment and Ecology, Ministry of Education, Ocean University of China, Qingdao, China), using RHESSys to examine the eco-hydrologic responses to reforestation in two neighboring catchments in the Loess Plateau of China. Hui spent some time in the Tague Team Lab in 2012 as a visiting PhD student.
