Brief Introductions
As an undergraduate Earth Science student, in recent months the contentious subject of fracking has been impossible to avoid. With almost daily publishing of news articles (http://www.theguardian.com/environment/shale-gas), documentaries (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=L9z6gPhpHcE) and scientific papers (http://www.epa.ie/pubs/reports/research/sss/UniAberdeen_FrackingReport.pdf), it seems like everyone has an opinion.
The mass-media whirlwind surrounding the fracking industry has left me feeling slightly confused... surely I can't be the only one? Throughout this blog I hope to sift through the quagmire of contradictory 'information' and try to present some geniune scientific evidence about the advantages and disadvantages of fracking.
Climate and environmental change is a subject close to my heart and has been the real inspiration for this blog. Plus with so many controversial topics that come under the mammoth umbrella of fracking, the possibilities for discovery are endless.
