Description: Publishing student research is more than just an academic exercise–it’s an empowering opportunity for students to share their original ideas, contribute to a global body of knowledge, and engage with their studies in meaningful ways. The Value of Lakes Around the Secwépemc Territory book, developed collaboratively with graduate students during the 2023 Winter semester, assesses the natural asset values of several lakes on the unceded land of the Secwépemc People and examines the annual flow of ecosystem services they provide. The project is part of the Master of Science in Environmental Economics and Management program at Thompson Rivers University and builds on the “Valuation Methods for Cost-Benefit Analysis” course in which students explore advanced techniques to assess nature and the impacts it experiences using methods such as benefit transfer, hedonic pricing, experimental design, contingent valuation, choice experiments, and market estimation. This book also features a foreword by Dr. Nathan Matthew, Former Chancellor of TRU and current Chancellor Emeritus.
