The current status, as a newly discovered gas re-gion, has companies from around the world offering policy-makers and regulators the promise of economic and fi nancial gain, yet government offi cials and the general public lack the knowledge to make informed decisions. This presentation will be a direct result of a prepared bibliography pointing to the fundamental building blocks that our decision makers of tomorrow will need to make educated choices about the fu-ture of Marcellus and Utica Shale Gas. The goal of this pre-sentation is to frame the essential content knowledge areas so educators have a basic framework to incorporate discipline specifi c material into the curriculum so individuals affected will possess the appropriate tools and knowledge to make in-formed decisions on the future of our region. publisher: Penn State University Press date: 2013-12-01 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint language: en identifier: http://d-scholarship-dev.library.pitt.edu/40297/1/Marcellus%20%26%20Utica%20Shale%20Presentation.pptx format: text/plain language: en identifier: http://d-scholarship-dev.library.pitt.edu/40297/2/licenseagreement_dscholarship.txt identifier: Bailey, Kimberly (2013) The Fundamental Building Blocks Necessary to Educate Future Decision Makers in Marcellus & Utica Shale Gas.
