Saskatchewan Protocol makes resource systems legible. We connect what can be observed in the ground to the claims, decisions and consequences built on that evidence.
Saskatchewan is our starting point. The questions travel: how does a sample acquire authority? What changes when an estimate becomes a mine plan? Which obligations keep moving after production ends?
Who stands behind the writing
Articles are published under the Saskatchewan Protocol name. This publication brings together explanatory writing on geology, extraction, resource reporting and environmental consequences. Its value is in connecting those systems and making their assumptions open to inspection.
Two reading streams
Epistemics follows how we know: observations, samples, measurements, models and the limits of inference.
Cascades follows what happens next: how decisions move through operations, water, finance, communities and closure.
For a guided sequence, start with potash, uranium, water or mine closure.
Evidence and interpretation
The source lists identify reference documents for the definitions, methods and examples discussed in each essay. We distinguish a physical observation from the model or interpretation built around it, and identify unresolved questions where they matter to the argument.
A linked reference is a starting point for checking a claim. It does not mean every sentence has received an independent technical review. Requirements and project conditions can change; use the cited document’s scope and edition when following a specific example.
Our editorial commitment is to make those distinctions clearer as the collection develops. Confidence in the writing comes from showing the reasoning and letting readers inspect its support.
