Social Movement StudiesResearch on protest proximity and public attitudes about protests is limited. This study examines the association between proximity to anti-fracking protests, attitudes about protest disruption and perceptions about hydraulic fracturing risks. Data used to examine these associations are based on a representative sample of UK adults, some of whom reside

Effect of Providing Information on Students' Knowledge and Concerns about Hydraulic Fracking. [PDF]
J Toxicol Environ Health A, 2015 Governmental agencies, regulators, health professionals, and the public are faced with understanding and responding to new development practices and conditions in their local and regional environment. While hydraulic fracking (fracking) for shale gas has been practiced for over 50 years in some states, it is a relatively recent event in the ...

Hydraulic “Fracking”: Are surface water impacts an ecological concern? [PDF]
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2014 Abstract Use of high-volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) in unconventional reservoirs to recover previously inaccessible oil and natural gas is rapidly expanding in North America and elsewhere. Although hydraulic fracturing has been practiced for decades, the advent of more technologically advanced ...

Optimization of Carbon Dioxide Foam Fracturing Technology for Shale Gas Reservoir
Geofluids, 2023 Major shale gas exploration and development fields are located in the Sichuan basin. It requires huge water sources for shale gas fracking, but the well sites are mostly in the hills, which limits the industrialization of shale gas development.

Framing ‘fracking’: Exploring public perceptions of hydraulic fracturing in the United Kingdom [PDF]
Public Understanding of Science, 2016 The prospect of fracking in the United Kingdom has been accompanied by significant public unease. We outline how the policy debate is being framed by UK institutional actors, finding evidence of a dominant discourse in which the policy approach is defined through a deficit model of public understanding of science and in which a technical approach to ...

Hydraulic fracturing in cells and tissues: fracking meets cell biology [PDF]
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2017 The animal body is largely made of water. A small fraction of body water is freely flowing in blood and lymph, but most of it is trapped in hydrogels such as the extracellular matrix (ECM), the cytoskeleton, and chromatin. Besides providing a medium for biological molecules to diffuse, water trapped in hydrogels plays a fundamental mechanical role ...
