Monica Emelko, Canada Research Chair in Water Science, Technology and Policy, and professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, has recently been named section editor for Climate Change for the new peer-reviewed, open access journal, PLOS Water. 
PLOS Water brings together research of the highest standards for water as a vital human resource for communities in every region of the world.

​Topics covered include:

• water sanitation and hygiene
• sustainable water consumption, management, and supply
• resource recovery and utilization
• applied water governance and policy
• socio-behavioural research

HQP and Network members can look forward to an engaging fall with a stellar line up of training webinars available throughout October and November.

For newer students, “ST3 Week” refers to the annual forWater source-to-tap training week, which would normally be an in-person series of learning/training events focused on topics relevant to forWater. In past years, this has occurred in Halifax, Nova Scotia and Alberta's Rocky Mountains, and the 2022 version is set for Vancouver Island.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic this year's series will be virtual allowing us the flexibility to cover topics that were underrepresented in the past.
