The School of Environment and SustainabilityThe School of Environment and Sustainability (SENS) continued to grow and change through the 2015-2016 year. The Master of Water Security, a joint initia-tive between the Global Institute for Water Security and SENS, was launched and began recruiting its first incoming students. The degree is the first of its kind in North America and provides students with the exper-tise to tackle complex issues concerning water avail-ability and quality.

The school held two hallmark engagement events this year - Delta Days in April and the Sustainable Energy Options for Saskatchewan conference in May. Delta Days was a three-day workshop involving community members (land users, elders, youth, leaders), univer-sity researchers, and other partners. The workshop brought together people from the Peace-Athabasca Delta (Alberta), Saskatchewan River Delta (Saskatch-ewan/Manitoba) and Slave River Delta (Northwest Territories) to discuss issues related to the changes they are seeing in their delta and communities, such as upstream development, water fluctuations and wildlife populations.

The Sustainable Energy Options conference, spear-headed by PhD candidate Martin Boucher, saw over 100 stakeholders and leaders come together to dis-cuss the options for transitioning to a sustainable elec-tricity system in Saskatchewan. Participants included experts in the provincial utility, union representatives, First Nations, industry, engineering consulting firms, environmental groups, and researchers.

SENS continued its commitment to partnering with Indigenous communities and providing opportunities to learn from one another. The school signed a Memo-randum of Understanding with Beardy’s Okemasis First Nation in Saskatchewan and welcomed Alfred Gamble as Indigenous Mentor to work with faculty and students. Mr. Gamble works with SENS to share his considerable knowledge of environment and sustain-ability issues at his First Nation, and helps the school develop research that will benefit his community.

ENVS 811.3: Multiple Ways of Knowing in Environmental Decision MakingInstructor: MJ BarrettThis course examines multiple ways of knowing (epistemologies) used in his course examines multiple ways of knowing (epistemologies) used in environmental decision-making, including, but not limited to, Aboriginal knowledge systems. The course involves critical examination of human-nature relations. Students are asked to analyze their own decision-making beliefs and practices in the context of multiple understandings of the world. Applications to the legal “duty to consult” with Aboriginal peoples will be addressed.

ENVS 812.3: Statistical Methods in Environmental SciencesInstructor: Yanping LiThis course is designed for graduate students to improve their knowledge and understanding of the application of statistical methods in environmental sciences. Content will include introduction to basic statistical concepts including exploratory data analysis techniques, continuous and discrete distributions, hypothesis testing, corre-lation and regression analysis, analysis of variance, experimental designs, nonparametric statistics, trend testing, and introduction to generalized linear models and extreme value theory. The primary objective of the course is for students to learn a variety of techniques that are applicable across a range of problems, irrespective of a specific discipline, involving small and large datasets. At the end of the course, students should be able to apply the techniques to their own research projects.

ENVS 813.3: Numerical Modelling for Environmental Scientists and EngineersInstructor: Andrew IresonThe purpose of this course is to provide graduate students with a set of modeling skills to allow them to de-velop their own numerical models to solve problems of coupled flow and transport in porous media. The course requires a basic understanding of groundwater flow and transport processes. A particular set of numerical methods for solving sets of partial differential equations are introduced to the student. Models are written in MATLAB using ODE solvers. Specific applications include models for water supplies in aquifers, contamination in aquifers, and water and energy balances in soils. This will also provide the student with an in-depth understand-ing of widely used commercial and non-commercial software such as USGS MODFLOW. The models help the student to think through the physical processes and interpret field data.

ENVS 823.3: Chemicals in the EnvironmentInstructor: Paul JonesThis course will provide an understanding of the processes that control the movement of chemical contami-nants in the environment. Local and global methods for chemical regulation will be addressed in the context of society and economics. The use of modeling to predict the environmental fate/effects of contaminants will be presented.

ENVS 824.3: River ScienceInstructors: Tim Jardine and Karl-Erich LindenschmidtThis course teaches students the fundamentals of biophysical science as applied in riverine settings. It exam-ines physical and biological processes that naturally occur in rivers, then layer on top of that understanding the influence of climatic variables (ice and evaporation) and human influences (river channel modifications and contaminant loading).

ENVS 825.3: Water Resource Management in Cold RegionsInstructor: Karl-Erich LindenschmidtThis course exposes students to the management of water resources in cold regions. It primarily focuses on the components of river ice, snow and ground ice (permafrost). The students receive a fundamental understanding of the physical processes of each component and an introduction to the management of each component. A human dimension is included to investigate the management implications on northern communities.

ENVS 826.3: Climate ChangeInstructor: Yanping LiThis course explores the science of climate change. Students will learn how the climate system works and the general atmosphere circulation patterns, ocean circulation patterns and climate oscillations such as the El-Niño Southern Oscillation; what factors cause climate to change across different time scales and how those factors interact; how climate has changed in the past; how scientists use models to make predictions about future cli-mate; and the possible consequences of climate change for our planet. Students will learn how climate change today is different from past climate cycles and how satellites and other technologies are revealing the global signals of a changing climate; how addition of CO2 to the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels will influence the climate. Students will gain the scientific basis to analyze and critique policy issues related to global change. The course looks at the connection between human activity and the current warming trend and considers some of the potential social, economic, and environmental consequences of climate change.

ENVS 827.3: Breakthroughs in Water Security ResearchInstructor: Jeff McDonnellThe purpose of this course is to expose students to the latest research in water security, to connect students to the top research in the field internationally, to help students understand what constitutes world class research and to further develop awareness and understanding of major concepts in water security. Each week focuses on a different sub-field of water security with an attempt to cover a co-equal blend of four thematic areas: hydrol-ogy, aquatic science, water policy, and water resource engineering. The course structure centers around semi-nar attendance and then a weekly group discussion focused on key new papers in the field written by seminar speakers. Students will learn the art of journal article reading, how to critique scientific work and what makes for a good paper. The discussion sessions give the students the opportunity to critically evaluate a paper and discuss the topic with the guest speaker and course instructor. Written assignments given to the students by the course instructor will focus on how recent developments in the water security sub-fields can be applied to their own research or professional goals, and to follow up in greater detail on a topic of interest or relevance to them.

ENVS 832.3: Risk Assessment and Negotiation of Environmental IssuesInstructors: Markus Hecker and Paul JonesThe objectives of this class are to help students develop a comprehensive understanding of the interdiscipli-nary nature of environmental issues; provide students with an in-depth understanding of the concept of risk, explaining concepts such as relative risks and benefits of human activities; to elucidate the roles and perspec-

tives of different stakeholders such as government, industry, academia, lawyers, lobbyists, etc. that are typically involved in the assessment and management of environmental issues; and to teach students the roles that science and society have in the assessment and management of environmental issues.

ENVS 881.3: Resources and Environmental Policy AnalysisInstructors: Hayley HesselnThis course will focus on developing a formal understanding of natural resource use and resource and envi-ronmental policy using economic models. The focus on the course will be on renewable resources but with some consideration of the unique characteristics of non-renewable resources. The course will examine a series of natural resource and environmental issues with a priority given to Canadian issues but not excluding issues from other jurisdictions and those global scale environmental issues. The course will develop detailed analyses of existing and proposed natural resource and environmental policy using the economic framework to evaluate the structure and the efficiency, effectiveness and flexibility of these policies. Through this approach the stu-dent will develop the tools to understand and critically evaluate environmental policy and also build a familiar-ity with the primary policy measures and tools.

ENVS 898.3: Qualitative MethodsInstructor: Carolyn HoesslerBridging theory and practice, this course provides an introduction to qualitative methodologies and meth-ods. Students will develop their ability to articulate terminology, concepts, and criteria; journal using reflexive questions; compare and select methodologies and methods; any apply basic methods of data collection, data management, analysis, and reporting.

Delta Days: A SENS-led initiative in April 2016

For some, it was an occasion to talk and to contribute. For others, it was a time to ask some hard questions.

For Alice Martin of Fort Chipewyan, Alberta, Delta Days was a time of hope and opportunity.

“It will be a miracle if we can bring the water back, but at the same time, we want to be positive, and we have the youth here and our teachings from our grandparents, ancestors and forefathers to lead by example,” she said.

Delta Days, a three day workshop which took place in April, saw people coming from in-land freshwater deltas: the Peace-Athabasca Delta (Alberta), Saskatchewan River Delta (Saskatchewan/Manitoba) and the Slave River Delta (Northwest Territories) to share their common experiences.

These deltas are some of the country’s most important wetlands. The marshes surrounding these areas form one of most biologically diverse places in Canada, with the flows feeding a collection of plants, animals and birds. A source of unparalleled natural beauty, these areas also provide a traditional livelihood for many of the residents of the deltas.

Sadly, it’s a livelihood that is changing for many of those residents.

Solomon Carriere, a trapper who still carries on many of the traditional practices of his ancestors, lives in a territory called Big Eddy located within the Saskatchewan River Delta. The flows released from the nearby E.B. Campbell Dam can greatly affect the ecosystems. The changing levels also impact the number of animals he is able to catch, he says.

“It would be nice if we could have more of a constant flow coming out of there at the right times. It seems like they are not finding that balance of giving the river its water at the right time,” he said.

The flow of water that gives life to the Saskatchewan River Delta also appears to be gradually diminishing, says Carriere.

“It is going to be really challenging in the future to try and maintain water in the deltas because we know we need water and it’s a pretty important thing,” he said.

Graham Strickert, research associate with the Global Institute for Water Security, was on hand at the event to speak to the research that is being conducted at the Saskatchewan River Delta.

“The decline in productivity is obvious. We have to isolate the main causes from the myriad of influences: changing water flows, declines in water quality, warming climate, pressure from harvesting, invasive species, and others, so that we identify ways we can improve the health and productivity of these important ecosystems and the people who depend on them,” he said.

In addition to the lively discussions and a film screening, the participants of Delta Days also created a traveling exhibit, which involved the university’s drama and art departments as well as the youths of the deltas.

“We want to bring the traditional and scientific knowledge back the communities using this display,” said Strickert.

“We want to enable the communities to refine this display and then take it to the decision-makers in the provinces and territories and in Ottawa.”

Highlighting the changes of these wetlands, many of the residents who attended Delta Days say they left with a sense of positivity.

“When you come into these gatherings and you see other people who are of the same mind and who still practice these ways of life … it’s encouraging,” said Martin.

“It gives us hope that finally, after all these years with all of the knowledge that’s within this room by the researchers and by the people of the land, that maybe we can start something for the future.”

Student Initiatives - SENSSAIn 2015-2016, SENSSA began hosting a variety of sessions to help students with writing. This included thesis-based writing Q&As with postdoctoral fellow and MES alumnus Garrett Richards and tips on how to write a lot with SENS faculty member Maureen Reed. The assosication also began hosting a lunch club weekly on Tuesdays to engage students.

SENSSA held the very popular 4th annual Cross-Cultural Food Fair in March. Additional activities included a pizza and documentary night, Halloween party, clothing swap, bowling night, Christmas party and a Winter Wonderland skating event. In addition, Martin Boucher, PhD candidate and SENSSA member organized a curl-ing team.

Research and Scholarly WorkResearch and scholarly work at SENS is concentrated in three overlapping focal areas: sustaining communities, sustaining ecosystems, and water security. The School’s faculty and students work jointly, from disciplinary and specific fields, to collaborate and integrate the analytical strength of two or more disciplines to address environ-mental and sustainability problems. This type of interdisciplinarity allows researchers to learn new methodolo-gies and to integrate concepts from other disciplines.

A considerable number of faculty hires in 2011-2013 led to a spike in research revenue and number of grants awarded in subsequent years, as those faculty sought and secured funding to establish their research programs. Now, it appears that the School’s research funding is beginning to cycle through highs and lows—the grants se-cured in 2011-2013 will fund programs for a few years, and then faculty will again be seeking funding. Also, one or two large grants secured in any one year, as was the case in 2012-2013, results in a spike in research revenue.

SENS places a priority on collaborative, interdisciplinary scholarship. The number of grants with multiple faculty members is used as one indicator of this scholarship. In 2014-2015, seven new grants with multiple faculty were initiated, and nine were continuing from previous years.

Sustainable Energy Options for Saskatchewan Conference - May 2016

SENS organized “Sustainable Energy Options for Saskatchewan,” held on May 27, 2016 at the Neatby-Timlin Theatre, University of Saskatchewan. The intent of this conference was to bring together stakeholders from diverse perspectives to discuss sustainable options for Saskatchewan’s electricity system. The purpose was to create an opportunity for dialogue to develop a collective vision of principles, values, technologies, and ideas for a future electricity system for the province.

The conference featured keynote presentations, breakout panel discussions, networking breaks, and a dialogue workshop. From the day’s discussion, we provided a number of recommendations and highlights, including:

• Saskatchewan is uniquely positioned to embrace community focused energy projects. This may include projects with First Nations, rural municipalities, or urban districts. Given Saskatchewan’s history and current appetite for community focused projects there are likely opportunities for unique social innovations in the province.

• No single source of electricity will be sufficient to provide affordable and reliable energy for the province. Therefore there is an imperative to uncover a mix or portfolio of technologies suitable to this end.

• Megawatts are a cost effective and in many instances a quickly implementable energy reduction strategy.

• Stakeholder knowledge of options and the technical and economic feasibility of each are important to foster effective solutions-oriented discussion on Saskatchewan’s electricity future.

• Given the public perception challenges faced by many jurisdictions it would be worthwhile to take this into account in the Saskatchewan context. Public engagement and involvement is highly

important.• Disagreement among stakeholders on

technological options exists. A focus on principles or evaluation criteria, however, can create bridging opportunities between stakeholders.

• Saskatchewan has the opportunity to benefit and learn from the energy transitions that have already occurred around the world.

The conference brought together one hundred stakeholders and leaders from experts in the provincial utility, union representatives, First Nations, industry, engineering consulting firms, environmental groups, and researchers to discuss the options for transitioning to a sustainable electricity system in Saskatchewan. There was a strong desire among participants for new and innovative configurations, both institutional and technological, for the electricity system of the future. This could involve consideration for new ownership opportunities for communities, higher levels of distributed generation, and a general openness to new innovations on the horizon. There are of course challenges with such a transition, but the imperative to respond to the concerns of climate change and rising GHG emissions could not be great

Conference Facilitators.

Scholarly works produced with multiple SENS co-authors is another indicator of collaborative, interdisciplinary scholarship. In 2014-2015, SENS faculty published thirty-five contributed papers/abstracts at conferences and ten refereed papers with multiple SENS co-authors.

The following is a summary of the research and scholarly work of faculty holding standard, primary-joint, or secondary-joint appointments in the School of Environment and Sustainability during 2014-2015. While all re-search grants may not have been administered through the School, the research often involves SENS graduate students. During 2014-2015, SENS faculty produced seventeen books, chapters in books, expository and review articles; ninety-seven peer-reviewed journal articles; two papers in non-refereed journals; twenty-eight contrib-uted papers/abstracts in conference proceedings; one invited paper/abstract in conference proceedings; twelve technical reports relevant to the academic field; forty-one invited lectures and invited conference presenta-tions; and one hundred forty-five contributed papers/abstracts at conferences. SENS faculty held seventy-four research grants and contracts during 2014-2015.

Names of researchers affiliated with SENS are bolded. These include core faculty, students, and post-doctoral fellows.
