iPolytek – How Sustainable is PV Solar Power? An Intro to Life Cycle Analysis and Planetary Boundaries – Online Course
2023-09-07 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Regina) | Online
If you search “solar photovoltaic sustainability” on the internet, you will find a multitude of articles hailing the technology as green, clean and ready to spearhead our world into a sustainable future. However, you will also come across articles that are much more critical of the technology. This begs the question, “How does one go about accessing the environmental impacts of a technology in a systematic, objective way?” We answer this question using PV solar power as a case study.
In this course, we study an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) of solar photovoltaic power and learn of its impacts on human health, freshwater, climate change, ecosystems and land use. We compare the environmental performance of solar PV to other renewable and non-renewable electricity generation technologies. Finally, we take an in-depth look at a scientific article in which researchers show how countries can determine their optimal energy mix given their available resources and environmental objectives.

Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium - Introducing The Design Value Explorer – Integrating Future Climate Data into The Built Environment
2023-06-08 10:30 - 12:00 (America/Regina) | Online
Calling all building sector professionals! We are pleased to invite you to an interactive climate change training session on PCIC’s newest web-based tool – the Design Value Explorer (DVE). The DVE is the result of a collaborative project between PCIC, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Infrastructure Canada, and the National Research Council of Canada.
The DVE provides revised climatic design data relevant to the National Building Code of Canada and the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code. The tool provides building professionals with historical and future-projected design values for all of Canada that incorporate projected changes in climate.
This session will be jointly delivered by PCIC, the Canadian Centre for Climate Services (CCCS), and Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia. It will begin with the fundamentals of climate science and an explanation of key considerations for using the tool, leading to an in-depth demonstration of the tool itself.
We will examine the unique data and features of the tool that will aid building and infrastructure design professionals in the consideration of climate change risks and the incorporation of climate change into design and construction phases.
This session will include an interactive exercise to ensure attendees have a chance to use the tool, ask questions, and provide feedback. Feel free to explore the Design Value Explorer ahead of time, and come with your questions!

University of Regina - Decarbonizing Transportation Symposium: Transit, Active Transportation, and Electrification
2023-05-25 13:00 - 16:00 (America/Regina) | University of Regina, 3737 Wascana Pkwy, Regina, SK, S4S 0A2, Canada
The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science is pleased to sponsor a symposium on Decarbonizing Transportation in Southern Saskatchewan. The Symposium will include presentations by City of Regina, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, as well as various industrial organizations. Each presentation will be 20 minutes followed by a short 10 mins Q&A session. The goal of this gathering is to focus attention on these issues, with the aim to move our world closer to a zero carbon future. We hope that through practical real-world assessments and through discussion, organization, and planning, tangible and measureable improvements can be made to the carbon footprint. The symposium will bring up as many questions as it answers. We hope the symposium will open up a general discussion on how to progress on this urgent issue. The symposium follows a presentation by Prof Kelly Tang (on May 16) which will introduce the Transportation Symposium is the second in a series on Decarbonizing Southern Saskatchewan and includes: Built-up Environments, Transportation, Industrialization, and Energy.

SGS - Upside Potential of the Basal Mississippian Souris Valley Beds/Lodgepole Formation in Southeast Saskatchewan
2023-05-24 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Regina) | Saskatchewan Geological Subsurface Laboratory, 201 Dewdney Ave, Regina, Saskatchewan, S4N 4G3, Canada
Abstract
Prospecting for hydrocarbons along the Souris Valley Beds subcrop edge in Southeast Saskatchewan has met with very disappointing results (save for the Parkman Pool). This core display suggests an alternative model for future exploration activity. Klassen (1996) mapped Lodgepole shelf, slope and basin facies in Southwestern Manitoba and suggested that Southeast Saskatchewan represents deposition in a deeper non-reservoir facies.
This core presentation suggests erosion removed the reservoir in Southeast Saskatchewan and northwestern North Dakota. Stratigraphic cross-sections through the Daly and Virden Lodgepole Pools in southwestern Manitoba were studied as an analogue for exploring elsewhere in the basin and revealed Sequence Boundaries and ravinement surfaces/sea cliffs which show rapid sea level changes affecting preservation of the section.
The two cores on display are a composite of the Lodgepole Formation from Bakken/Lodgepole contact to top of the Lower Daly Member reservoir (Cruickshank Member in the Daly Pool (100/01-30-009-28W1/00; Cal. Stan. Daly), which represents the lower portion of the Lodgepole Formation, and Lower Daly Member reservoir facies at the top of the Lodgepole Formation (100/11-04-010-28W1/00; Daly Unit No. 1) in southwestern Manitoba). Erosion of the reservoir was likely initiated by reactivation of sinistral faults along the Churchill/Superior Boundary.

University of Regina - Decarbonizing Transportation Seminar - Electric Vehicles: Challenges, Strategies and Emission Mitigations
2023-05-16 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Regina) | University of Regina, 3737 Wascana Pkwy, Regina, SK, S4S 0A2, Canada
The transportation sector accounts for around 25% of Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Electric Vehicles (EV) and cleaner fuels are key to decarbonizing our communities and society. However, the uneven and limited infrastructure is one major roadblock. Less than 6% of electric chargers are in the Prairie region which makes EVs problematic for long trips. Furthermore, although Canada sets the mandatory target for passenger vehicles to be zero-emission by 2035, charging queuing and cold weather are major concerns for urban EV trips. Such growing challenges are critical reasons that EVs still make up fewer than 5% of Canadian passenger vehicles. This seminar will address the growing challenges, strategies and future vision of electric vehicle development towards sustainable, inclusive and zero-emission transportation and society.
All are welcome and invited to attend!

Saskatchewan Research Council - Slurry Pipeline Systems Course
2023-05-16 08:00 - 2023-05-19 12:00 (America/Regina) | Innovation Place, 15 Innovation Blvd, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, S7N 2X8, Canada
Slurry pipeline transportation is a field that is not adequately covered in undergraduate engineering courses. Consequently, engineers are generally ill-equipped when faced with the task of designing a slurry transportation system or troubleshooting an existing installation.
The course focuses on applying the basic principles of slurry pipeline flows to actual design situations. This course will provide an excellent opportunity for people involved in slurry transportation to meet in an informal environment, to share experiences and to foster a uniform technical language and approach for slurry flow analysis.
