Methane from Hydraulic Fracturing - Microbial Origins and Impact
Offered By: AGU via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore groundbreaking research on the origin and habitat of bacteria thriving in hydraulic fracturing wells in this 30-minute press conference from the AGU Fall Meeting 2015. Discover how scientists used genomic analysis, isotopic tracers, laboratory cultures, and computer models to uncover the mystery of these microbes' origins. Learn about the potential impact of these bacteria on methane production deep underground. Hear from expert panelists including Kelly Wrighton, David Cole, Thomas Darrah, and Michael Wilkins as they discuss their findings on microbial diversity, input materials, high-pressure microbiology, and microbial habitats. Gain insights into the implications for sustainable energy production and the broader understanding of microbial life in extreme environments.
