Sorry for sending this again but once again it was sent to a very old email listing.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nationally Recognized Cornell Researcher to Speak in
Watkins Glen about Natural Gas Wells
Dr. Anthony R. Ingraffea, Cornell University Dwight C. Baum Professor of Engineering, will talk about the technology, development and impact of horizontal natural gas drilling and slick water hydrofracking in the Marcellus Shale, followed by a Q&A session.
WHEN: Tuesday, March 16 @ 7:00 p.m. Free & open to the public.
WHERE: Watkins Glen High School Auditorium; 301 12th Street, Watkins Glen, NY. (Entrance off the parking lot on the west side of the school, near the Field House)
If you care about the future of the Finger Lakes, don’t miss this one! Learn about the possible future extent of natural gas development in Schuyler County and the surrounding area - it will likely begin soon after the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation completes its Final SGEIS.
Professor Ingraffea has been a principal investigator on R&D projects from the National Science Foundation, NASA, FAA, Kodak, IBM, Schlumberger, and the Gas Research Institute. His research concentrates on computer simulation and physical testing of complex fracturing processes. For his research achievements, he won the "Significant Paper Award" for one of five most important papers in the category of Computational/Analytical Applications in the past 20 years, and he has twice won the U.S. National Committee for Rock Mechanics Award for Research in Rock Mechanics.
Professor Ingraffea has received numerous awards for his outstanding teaching at Cornell. He has been a leader in the use of workstations and information technology in engineering education. He organized and was the first Director of the Synthesis National Engineering Education Coalition, a team of eight diverse engineering colleges. Synthesis developed, implemented, and assessed innovative programs and technologies to improve the quality of undergraduate engineering education and to attract and graduate larger numbers of women and minority engineers.
Sponsored by the Schuyler County Environmental Management Council.
