Find fracking data #1

Open esylvan opened 7 years ago

esylvan commented 7 years ago

Does anyone know where to find good data about fracking: where it is occurring, any documented environmental or social impacts, the cost of fracking in different locations versus likely earnings from it? We are particularly interested in data related to western Pennsylvania and throughout the Midwest in the United States.

Have you seen this resource? https://www.fractracker.org/map/

@dbild Thanks! No I hadn't. That's exactly what we were looking for. Do you have any experience with it? Know how reliable it is or if it has any quirks?

I met the guy who runs it at the Citizen Science Association conference in St Paul MN a couple weeks ago and that was the first I heard of it. I can search for his contact try to connect you if you like.

Thanks, @dbild I see that the site has an excellent "about" page with all the people listed. Is the person you met on that page? https://www.fractracker.org/about-us/staffbios/

Yes! I met Kirk Jalbert. He had a table during this part of the conference https://csa2017.sched.com/event/A0jC/a-night-in-the-cloud-closing-reception-open-to-the-public
