HEI Energy Research Brief Release

This Research Brief summarizes a scoping review of the peer-reviewed and gray literature that assesses or describes what is known about the cumulative impacts of chemical and nonchemical stressors of unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD) and methods for assessing cumulative impacts experienced by UOGD communities. Along with an educational webinar series on the topic of cumulative impact assessment, this Research Brief represents an important preliminary step to understanding what is known about cumulative impacts and how to conduct a cumulative impact assessment of UOGD communities.
