DESCRIPTION:Everyone is welcome to attend this CIVE 615 Environmental Engin
 eering Seminar (part of the Environmental & Water resource engineering sem
 inar series) given by: Prof. Tom Gleeson\, Faculty of Engineering\, Prof. 
 Mark Goldberg\, Faculty of Medicine\, Prof. Richard Janda\, Faculty of Law
  - 9I制作厂免费  In recent years\, natural gas extracted from shale f
 ormations has become an increasingly important energy resource throughout 
 North America. As demand for natural gas continues to rise\, the continent
  has experienced an unprecedented expansion in the resource鈥檚 extraction a
 nd development\, in particularly through the use of hydraulic fracturing. 
 This increase in development activities has given rise to the potential fo
 r greater adverse environmental and human health impacts. Only recently ha
 ve comprehensive studies evaluating the potential environmental and health
  effects of extraction techniques\, including hydraulic fracturing\, been 
 published. The three researchers from three Faculties at 9I制作厂免费
  will present essential environmental\, health and legal issues related to
  hydraulic fracking. The researchers believe that there is compelling evid
 ence that natural gas development could pose significant threats to the en
 vironment and to human health. Health and legal arguments suggest that mor
 atoriums on natural gas development are necessary in Quebec until such tim
 e it can be determined that the activity will not present significant risk
 s to human health\, ecosystems\, and the surrounding environment.  Tom Gle
 eson is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering\, Fa
 culty of Engineering. He is an environmental and geotechnical engineer int
 erested in groundwater sustainability\, regional- to continental-scale gro
 undwater systems\, groundwater-surface water interactions and fluid flow a
 round geologic structures. His talk will be based on his recent publicatio
 n: 鈥淗ydraulic fracturing in faulted sedimentary basins: Numerical simulati
 on of potential long-term contamination of shallow aquifers鈥漒, Water Resou

 ment of Medicine and associate member in the Department of Epidemiology an
 d Biostatistics\, Department of Occupational Health\, Department of Oncolo
 gy\, and the 9I制作厂免费 School of Environment. He is an occupational and envir
 onmental epidemiologist. His talk will be based on his recent work: 鈥淣atur

 lty of Law\, teaching business associations\, administrative law\, competi
 tion law\, economic regulation\, and air transport regulation. He was Law 
 Clerk to Justices Le Dain and Cory of the Supreme Court of Canada and is a
  past Director of the Centre for the Study of Regulated Industries at McGi
 ll. His main current research areas are the legal basis of domestic and gl
 obal corporate social responsibility and the regulatory regimes governing 
 domestic and global public goods.
