HEI Energy has funded a study under RFQ E23-2: Regional Groundwater Modeling to Understand Community Exposures Associated with Oil and Gas Development.

 Led by Dr. James Saiers at Yale University, the team will be building a model to understand groundwater and well water vulnerability to contamination from unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD) across the Marcellus region.

Webinar materials for "Geoscientific Analysis and Community Engagement" are now available. 
 

Join HEI Energy for an upcoming webinar with Drs. Jennifer Baka and Susan L. Brantley on December 18, 2023 at 2pm (EDT).

They will present their research on potential groundwater contamination related to unconventional oil and gas development in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The research team will highlight their interdisciplinary research approach involving geoscientific analyses and community engagement.

The Health Effects Institute Energy (HEI Energy) is pleased to inform you of the release of two new funding opportunities for qualified research teams.

We are pleased to announce HEI Energy’s September 2023 Quarterly Research Updates. They describe progress and next steps for five exposure studies in communities affected by oil and gas development. The research teams have been diligently advancing in the following key areas:

1. Monitoring air quality and noise in multiple oil and gas regions.

2. Developing a model to predict effects of oil and gas operations on local and regional air quality.

On June 27, HEI Energy hosted a webinar "Social Science and Environmental Health: Case Studies of Research Collaborations." This webinar presented three case studies of research collaborations between social scientists and environmental health scientists.
 

The webinar included the following talks: 

We are pleased to share the June 2023 Quarterly Research Updates summarizing progress with human exposure research in communities around the country affected by oil and gas development. 

Join HEI Energy on June 27, 2023 from 3:30-4:45 PM (EDT) for a webinar on Social Science and Environmental Health: Case Studies of Research Collaborations. This webinar will present three case studies of research collaborations between social scientists and environmental health scientists.
