Events & Courses

The shale gas debate (pro and con) is highly polarised in the US and Europe. Information on the web, in the media, or on gas company websites is often biased, presenting no scientific evidence or distorting the evidence, thinly disguising the agenda beneath.

In this presentation Mike reviews and explains in a simple and compelling narrative the key papers and studies that form the background to the debate. Mike sets this science within the general context of the geological and environmental processes that are involved, debunking the 'bad science' on both sides of the argument and making clear the science that does matter so that people can make an informed choice.
