Shale Gas: From Poland to Pennsylvania at University of Pittsburgh

"Shale Gas: From Poland to Pennsylvania," the Pulitzer Center's joint reporting initiative with Calkins Media, publisher of shalereporter.com, examines the debate surrounding shale gas and the tangled mix of hopes, hype and concern in Eastern Europe and the US.

Join journalist Dimiter Kenarov at the University of Pittsburgh's Frick Fine Arts Auditorium on Tuesday, February 5, to discuss his findings on the the local costs of global shale gas extraction. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in Pennsylvania is a focus of Kenarov's reporting, with the added dimension of the Eastern European response--providing deeper context to this controversial subject.

On Wednesday, February 6, Kenarov will present at the University of Pittsburgh's Wesley Posvar Hall to discuss the politics and controversies around shale gas in Eastern Europe more specifically. Kenarov will also participate in an invitation-only breakfast with the World Affairs Council earlier in the day.
