Geoscientific analysis and community engagement to analyze exposures to potential groundwater contamination in Southwestern Pennsylvania
Research on potential exposures and health effects associated with oil and gas development should be grounded in a good understanding of not only exposure assessment, epidemiology, and the operations themselves, but also of the social implications for the communities affected by such research.
In this webinar, hosted by HEI Energy, Drs. Jenn Baka and Susan Brantley at Penn State University presented their research on potential groundwater contamination related to unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD) in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The research team explained their interdisciplinary research approach involving geoscience and community engagement.
