| Publisher Description: Fracking has the potential to extract hydrocarbons from previously inaccessible sources of gas and oil, but do the economic benefits outweigh the environmental costs? Presenting both sides of the debate, this book draws on a wealth of international expertise, from the oil and gas industry to Friends of the Earth, to give researchers in academia and industry, policy makers, environmental science students and the interested layman will gain a balanced view of hydraulic fracturing. |
Contributor Bio(s): Hester, R. E.: - Ron Hester is an emeritus professor of chemistry at the University of York. In addition to his research work on a wide range of applications of vibrational spectroscopy, he has been actively involved in environmental chemistry and was a founder member of the Royal Society of Chemistry s Environment Group. His current activities are mainly as an editor and as an external examiner and assessor on courses, individual promotions, and departmental/subject area evaluations both in the UK and abroad.Harrison, R. M.: - Roy Harrison OBE is Queen Elizabeth II Birmingham Centenary Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Birmingham. In 2004 he was appointed OBE for services to environmental science. Professor Harrison s research interests lie in the field of environment and human health. His main specialism is in air pollution, from emissions through atmospheric chemical and physical transformations to exposure and effects on human health. Much of this work is designed to inform the development of policy.Hester, R. E.: - Ron Hester is an emeritus professor of chemistry at the University of York.
