Managing Risks Related to Hydraulic Fracturing
Professor Terence Centner from the University of Atlanta and 2014-2015 Fulbright Scholar Visiting Professor at the University of Aberdeen, will speak as part of the Law School's research seminar series 2014-15 on "Managing Risks Related to Hydraulic Fracturing".
Abstract
Concern that activities accompanying hydraulic fracturing are unnecessarily subjecting people to unhealthy situations recommends that governments increase their efforts to reduce risks. An analysis of legal and regulatory provisions addressing hydraulic fracturing and related activities used in shale gas production in the United States shows that governments are forgoing the adoption of best management practices that would reduce health and environmental problems.
