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. date: 2013-12-01 date_type: published publication: Journal of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science volume: 87(2) publisher: Penn State University Press place_of_pub: Penn State University pagerange: 70 - 115 event_title: 89th Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science event_location: Bradford, PA event_dates: 05 April 2013 - 07 April 2013 event_type: conference refereed: FALSE issn: 1044-6753 official_url: https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5325/jpennacadscie.87.2.0070 elements_subgroup_RC_code: 60 elements_subgroup_RC_descr: Libraries elements_subgroup_dept_code: 66230 elements_subgroup_dept_descr: UPB Campus-Hanley Library-ULS elements_embargo_period: Not known citation: Bailey, Kimberly (2013) The Fundamental Building Blocks Necessary to Educate Future Decision Makers in Marcellus & Utica Shale Gas.
