Resources on Shale Gas

Go to any forum on shale gas drilling and you'll hear it. NY Governor Andrew Cuomo's said it. Pro-drilling advocates say it. Pro-health & environment advocates say it.
"Show me the science about drilling!"
Now, thanks to a couple of databases, you can do just that.

Physicians Scientists & Engineers for Healthy Energy have compiled a database of peer-reviewed articles on Shale Gas and Tight Oil Development. Their database provides abstracts, bibliographic information, and links to articles, and it's organized by category. Looking for information on air quality? Go to that file. Other categories include water quality, climate, economics, regulation, public health, seismicity... if you're looking for it, they probably have it.

Bucknell University has a database as well -  print-based publications that focus on the scientific, technical, sociological and economic aspects of shale gas and hydrofracking. It's called the Marcellus Shale Initiative Publications Database, and includes articles from industry journals and conference proceedings. Of the 846 articles, only 185 are peer-reviewed.  

If you know of more online database libraries, please let me know and I'll add them to this list.
Thanks to Ellen Harrison and the folks at Fleased for sharing information about these databases.

on Shale Gas & Tight Oil Development


 This citation database provides bibliographic information, abstracts, and links to many of the vetted scientific papers housed in the PSE Healthy Energy Library, as well as other peer-reviewed journal articles. This database is a near exhaustive and evolving list of the peer-reviewed literature that directly pertains to shale gas and tight oil development. This literature is organized into twelve different categories, including air quality, water quality, climate, public health, and regulations. PSE Healthy Energy does not necessarily support the methods and the findings of the studies included in this database.
