Sustainable Rivers – Project extent Natural science Social science Humanities Education Dave Swanson (Biology) Meghann Jarchow (Sustainability) Elise Boxer (Native American Studies) Cathy Ezrailson (Science Education) Mark Sweeney (Earth Science) Silvana Rosenfeld (Geography) Molly Rozum (History) Tim Heaton (Earth Science) Matt Sayre (Anthropology) Aimee Sorensen (Communication Studies) Mandie Weinandt (Economics) Paul Formisano (English) Modules used: Map your hazards, environmental justice & freshwater resources, climate of change Introductory courses (100/200 level) Upper-division courses (300/400 level) More than 400 undergraduate students involved in Sustainable Rivers project

Sustainable Rivers – Project Implementation Examples Sweeney (ESCI/BIOL 442: Intro to River Studies) = students mapped areas impacted by 2011 flood Sorensen (UHON 101: Honors Speech Communication) = Missouri River focus for issue-response speech Rozum (HIST 476: History of SD) = social/cultural and economic contexts of damming the Missouri River Heaton (ESCI/PHYS 385 : Energy & Sustainability) = Missouri River for hydroelectric power & water cooling and environmental tradeoffs Rosenfeld (GEO 210: World Regional Geography) = Comparing Missouri River dams to other dams globally Jarchow (SUST 201: Sustainability & Society) = collaboration w/ NICC; damming, sedimentation, & environmental justice Overall = 6 field trips Modules used = environmental justice, hazards (especially flooding and flooding hazards), hydrologic cycle, stream biogeography

Sustainable River – Project extent

Sustainable River – Project Objectives To create student scientists who will become leaders in interdisciplinary research and leaders in creating a more sustainable society through their appreciation of using a multi-perspective, systems-thinking approach to understanding and addressing challenges

Broad Research Opportunities Sustainable socio-economic, ecological, and technological scenarios for achieving global climate stabilization through negative CO2 emission policies (NSF EPSCoR) (PI = Ben Poulter, Montana State University; co-PIs = Dave Swanson & Meghann Jarchow; Senior personnel = Jake Kerby & Mark Dixon) The effect of altered disturbance regimes on early successional organisms (NSF LTREB) (PI = Daniel Catlin, Virginia Tech; co-PIs = Mark Dixon & Dave Swanson; Senior personnel = Jeff Wesner) Montana E
