Monitoring Fracture Hydromechanical Evolution in the Lab and Field Using Unsupervised Metric Learning

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Fractures evolve in time through thermal‐hydraulic‐mechanical‐chemical (THMC) processes that alter their long‐range hydraulic transport properties and modify subsurface behavior and activities. The location of subsurface fractures makes it necessary to use remote sensing techniques such as passive or active seismic monitoring for fracture ...

Socio-environmental risk zones for fracking development: a spatialized multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) for the Burgos Basin, Mexico

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Communications
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking , has experienced exponential growth, mainly in the United States due to the development of the shale gas energy market.

Experimental Study on the Effect of Supercritical CO2 on Mechanical Properties and Fracture Characteristics of Longmaxi Shale

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2023
Conventional hydraulic fracturing techniques typically consume large amounts of water when producing shale gas. Fracking fluids may cause environmental pollution. In contrast, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) (above 31.8°C, 7.29 MPa) can displace CH4

Where Oil Is King [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Donald Trump has won the 2016 presidential election, and, based on his campaign rhetoric, it seems reasonable to anticipate that the next four years will see a rollback of federal rules and regulations originally intended to combat climate change and ...

Initial evaluation of high‐pressure ceramic nanofiltration for dissolved organic carbon isolation from surface waters across the land‐to‐ocean continuum

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 562-577, August 2025.
Marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is one of the largest reservoirs of fixed carbon on Earth, and its cycling contributes to ocean productivity and carbon storage. Despite its central role, efforts to characterize DOC reactivity and cycling in aquatic systems have been hampered by low recovery during isolation.

Carbonous Concealment: Governing “Wild” Substances and Subterranean Storage in an Era of Climate Change

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 1280-1298, July 2025.
Abstract Drawing on ethnographic field research that I conducted in Houston, Texas since late 2018, I explore subterranean storage arrangements utilised by the US hydrocarbon industry. I argue that storage is vital not only to its pluri‐temporal strategies but to the outward projection of good governance.

Groundwater use in the Eagle Ford Shale: some policy recommendations

open access: yesTexas Water Journal, 2015
Advances in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and horizontal drilling have allowed oil and gas companies to tap into Texas’ previously inaccessible shale reserves.

Hashtagging Politics: Transnational Anti-Fracking Movement Twitter Practices

open access: yesSocial Media + Society, 2015
I examine a 2-week window into an environmental movement trying to gain traction in the public sphere, centered on a transnational day of action calling for a ban on the drilling technology, high-volume hydraulic fracturing, the Global Frackdown. Twitter
