Me too, Amy! I think we need comprehensive peer-reviewed study before we open watersheds like The Delaware River Basin to drilling. Horizontal slickwater hydraulic fracturing was developed by Range Resources in 2005, and it’s still in its relative infancy. Unlike traditional fracking, hydro-fracking is a form of extreme fossil fuel extraction. Disposing of the massive volumes of highly toxic frack waste remains a major industry dilemma. “Recycling” helps, but it’s far from the ultimate answer.

Thanks for an informative, comprehensive look at the issue, Nate. I suspect we don’t agree about the overall safety of fracking, but I do appreciate your views. Liz, KeepTapWaterSafe

This article has answered so many questions & concerns I’ve had. Thank you Nate! You “ROCK”! There has been so much negative publicity recently that it really is scary. I am looking forward to the comprehensive study.

Nicole,

Exactly what study are you referring to? I tried to give names/links to all the studies and papers I referenced in this post. If you’re asking who first studied melting glaciers, I’m afraid I can’t help you there. It’s something that’s been studied by a very large number of people for decades…so I’d imagine it would be difficult to pinpoint a specific person. If that is what you were looking for, I’m sorry I couldn’t help more and I wish you luck on finding your answer.

I do hope there was other information in this post that you find helpful for your report!

Hey I’m in College and I’m doing a report of Melting Glaciers. I wanna know who is responsible of initiating this study?

Thanks Ron. Twitter and Google+ are certainly the way to go in terms of interacting. No great insights on reaching out to the geo-Facebookers. Given Facebook’s setup, it’s not so easy to track them down. Could try using the search tool to query pages/groups/people related to geology, earth science, etc. I’ve tried that myself, but many times you either end up with an organization that already has a Twitter account, or a random page that was started two years ago and left unattended. That’s not to say these people aren’t there, just not easy to single out. I’ll definitely keep an eye on it, and let you know if I come across anyone.

Glad you found your way here!
