\nA one-day\u00a0symposium\u00a0on Friday November 4th, 2011; 9AM \u2013 5PM
\nTemple Gallery, Tyler School of Art
\nNorris Street between 12th and 13th Streets, 19122
\nThe\u00a0Marcellus\u00a0Shale\u00a0formation is located approximately 8000 feet deep and contains large quantities of natural gas. The extraction of the gas occurs through a procedure known as hydrofracking, whereby large volumes of water, sand, and chemicals are injected into the\u00a0Marcellus\u00a0Shaleformation to fracture the rock and release the gas. The large quantity of the potentially recoverable natural gas could make Pennsylvania the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. Hydrofracking for natural gas is a relatively new practice, with few studies documenting the economic benefit and the environmental impact.
\nPlease join us for a one-day summit on the issues related to the production, utilization, and future management of this natural resource. Thesymposium\u00a0will include lectures, posters, artworks and artifacts, and thus, represents a unique venue where artists, engineers, and scientists contribute to provide an integrated view of the\u00a0Marcellus\u00a0Shale.
