Plenary Speakers

Helen's research encompasses river-system biogeochemistry with particular emphasis on nutrient (phosphorus, P, and nitrogen, N) cycling and water quality, from watershed to global perspectives. A major area is the role of nutrients in river eutrophication worldwide, and how improved nutrient stewardship can help ensure the future resilience of our river water quality and water resource security.  Given that society is reliant on P to grow our food, and that phosphate rock is a non-renewable resource, Helen's research also explores how improved P stewardship can ensure future food security and meet water-quality goals.

Helen is a Principal Scientist in Hydrochemistry at the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Wallingford, U.K. She is also an Adjunct Professor in Fluvial Sciences at the University of Arkansas, USA; a Visiting Professor in Environmental Chemistry at Plymouth University, UK; and a Visiting Professor in Water Quality Science at the University of Tokyo, Japan.

 

 

Helen Baulch is a biogeochemist, an associate professor, and a Centennial Enhancement Chair at the University of Saskatchewan.  Her work is focused on water security in the prairies -- understanding drivers of pollution, and consequences to aquatic ecosystems and to humans.  Helen has published more than 50 journal papers and 12 news articles.  Her work is motivated by the need for solutions to address growing issues of water insecurity; work often done in collaboration with partners in government and industry.  She is the recipient of a 2019 Provost's outstanding teacher award.  

Roy Rasmussen received a B.S. degree in Physics and Mathematics from Wheaton College, Illinois in 1978, and a Masters and PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles in Atmospheric Sciences in 1980 and 1982, respectively, specializing in cloud physics.  After receiving his doctorate, he was an Advanced Study Program postdoctoral researcher at National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) .   He is currently a Senior Scientist and director of the Hydrometeorology Applications Program at the Research Applications Laboratory at NCAR.  He is an American Meteorological Society Fellow and has ten patents and over 100 peer reviewed journal papers. 

Claudia Pahl-Wostl is full professor for resources management at the Institute for Environmental Systems Research (USF) in Osnabrück, Germany and visiting professor on water governance at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. She is an internationally leading scholar on water governance and adaptive management of water resources. Her major research interests are adaptive, multi-level governance and management of water resources, social and societal learning and their role in sustainability transformations, and conceptual and methodological frameworks to analyze social-ecological systems. In 2012 the Bode Foundation Water Management Prize was awarded to Prof. Pahl-Wostl for the pioneering interdisciplinary work on “Governance in times of change” and comparative analyses of water governance in large river basins.

As a member of Witchekan Lake First Nation located in Treaty Six territory (northern Saskatchewan), Chief Bobby Cameron has spent the majority of his life maintaining strong ties to culture, language and identity. As an avid hunter, trapper, and fisherman – Chief Cameron advocates and understands the significance of having clean water, and the catastrophic consequences for future generations if the messages are ignored.  He is currently in his 2nd term as Chief of Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, a Treaty and Inherent Rights organization that represents 74 First Nations, and over 160,000 First Nation people. He also served one term as a Vice-Chief for FSIN previously. He is also the Regional Chief for the Assembly of First Nations. Chief Cameron holds a Bachelor of Arts, with a major in Indigenous Studies from the University of Regina. A devoted partner and father of six children, Chief Cameron is a strong advocate for Treaty and Inherent Rights for future generations of First Nations people.

David Grimes, president of the World Meteorological Organization, a Brock University graduate, has been Assistant Deputy Minister and head of Environment and Climate Change Canada's Meteorological Service since July 2006.

Over his 40-year career with the Meteorological Service his accomplishments – in weather forecast operations, the Canadian Climate Centre and science-policy development – were many. 

Scott White is Editor of The Conversation Canada. Previously, he was Editor-in-Chief of The Canadian Press and Vice-President, Content Strategy and Business Development at Postmedia Network. He has an MBA from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and is a graduate of the journalism program at Ryerson University.
