Date(s): May 7 and 8, 2015

Location: Atherton Hotel, State College, PA. (Adjacent to the Penn State University Park campus.)

About the Workshop

All participants will discuss sharing and interpreting water quality and quantity data related to shale gas development.

The Shale Network, funded by the National Science Foundation, is a collaborative effort between Penn State, Pitt, Dickinson and CUAHSI and the NSF to collect and analyze data on water quality in the Marcellus Shale drilling region. The workshop will provide an opportunity for nonscientists, researchers, experts, government officials, and members of the gas and environmental industries to compare lessons learned about water issues within the northeastern region of shale gas development.
