The network involves experts from universities across Canada and includes stations and observatories in almost every province and territory.
The prairies of Saskatchewan can be described as one of the least water-secure parts of Canada, making water quality monitoring essential for informed resource management in a region already facing water insecurity.
University of Saskatchewan researcher Dr. John Pomeroy (PhD) says the ways we’re managing water resources will no longer cut it.
As the United Nations prepares to spotlight World Water Day on March 22, irrigation and livestock water quality remain among the leading research topics at the University of Saskatchewan (USask).
Dr. Markus Brinkmann’s (PhD) internationally celebrated investigations into the compounds found in public waterways tell an important story about the health of humans and the environment, and are in-part why he has been awarded the James J. Morgan Early Career Award by the American Chemical Society (ACS) in the ACS Journal of Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T).
The Canadian Mountain Assessment: Walking Together to Enhance Understanding of Mountains in Canada features significant contributions from water researchers at USask
When coho salmon in the Pacific Northwest came floating downstream belly up after waiting for rainfall that would enable them to swim to their spawning grounds, scientists were puzzled. The cause for this mass mortality event was not immediately obvious – and the resulting uncertainty hampered mitigation efforts.
Four Living Skies Postdoctoral Fellows are doing their research within the area of water
USask achieved high rankings in multiple areas in both the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings by Subject and the ShanghaiRanking Global Ranking of Academic Subjects.
Dr. Corinne Schuster-Wallace (PhD) is the new executive director of the Global Institute for Water Security (GIWS) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask).
Dr. Helen Baulch (PhD) has been announced as a new member of the Royal Society of Canada’s (RSC) College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists — a prestigious achievement celebrating excellence in research.
A record year of wildfires is threatening communities and leaving trails of devastation through forests in British Columbia and Alberta and across the country as far as Nova Scotia, while also creating dangerous air quality conditions from smoke drifting across the Prairie provinces.
An interdisciplinary team of University of Saskatchewan (USask) researchers received a quarter of a million dollars from the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) Exploration stream to do a comprehensive investigation of aquatic insect exports from the wetlands in the Prairie Pothole region.
As the surging waters of the Klondike River near Dawson City subsided later in the spring of 2023, officials with the Yukon Government (YG) reflected on how hydrological modelling efforts from the University of Saskatchewan (USask) and ongoing research out of McMaster University helped them better forecast flood events and issue flood advisories.
Dr. Caroline Aubry-Wake (PhD) will receive the 2023 Governor General’s Gold Medal at the 2023 University of Saskatchewan (USask) spring convocation June 6.
Household chores can be a drain on anyone’s time and energy, but picture a scenario where your tap water needs to be boiled or treated before it can be used or consumed. Now compare the resulting hardship to yet another situation: where there is no water source in or close to your household.
Hundreds of scientists and researchers from across Canada have gathered in Saskatoon for the finale of the world’s largest university freshwater research program, a seven-year initiative led by the University of Saskatchewan (USask).
Securing a safe water supply for Earth’s growing population is a global goal that is reflected in the long-term sustainability plans of almost every nation. Creatively solving this problem is another matter altogether. University of Saskatchewan (USask) graduate student Bernd Steiger is using chemistry expertise and Saskatchewan-based waste to soak up contaminants in fresh water reserves.
This spring, the University of Saskatchewan (USask) will celebrate Gary Carriere's extraordinary contributions to his community.
