SUMMARY:Conevery Valencius - Fracking\, Earthquakes\, and Public Science in Rural America
DESCRIPTION:The Heyman Center\, Second Floor Common Room \nConevery Valencius\, University of Massachusetts Boston \nScientists studying these earthquakes have implicated our recent shale energy revolution\, particularly the pressure created by the massive volume of toxic wastewater produced when we use hydraulic fracturing to harvest oil and gas from shale formations.  In some states\, regulators have restricted the underground injection of wastewater\, but other states are taking only limited action or continue to deny the science linking fracking to earthquakes.  What can we make of such divergent responses to earthquakes that shake across state lines? \nDrawing from research she is undertaking with science journalist Anna Kuchment\, historian Conevery Bolton Valencius will introduce the layers of geology and social complexity that link energy production and earthquakes and discuss how the understanding of science and the denial of science are shaped by the rural environments of the American shale boom. \nRegistration required; open exclusively to Columbia faculty\, students\, and invited guests. All others wishing to attend\, please email sof-fellows@columbia.edu describing your interest and requesting registration. For more details\, please visit the event’s website. \nThis event is sponsored by Society of Fellows in the Humanities.
