Unconventional oil and gas spills: Risks, mitigation priorities and state reporting requirements (raw data)

Website: https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/#view/doi:10.5063/F1VX0DGR Rapid growth in unconventional oil and gas (UOG) has produced jobs, revenue, and energy, but also concerns over spills and environmental risks. We assessed spill data related to 31,481 UOG wells in Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania between 2005 and 2014. We found between 0.4 to 15.7% of wells reported a spill each year. Median spill volumes ranged from 9.5 m3 in Pennsylvania to 4.9 m3 in New Mexico; large spills exceeding 100 m3 have also been reported.

A guide to modelling land-based impacts to coastal ecosystem services by integrating tools across disciplines and ecosystems

This should make this important material more accessible to a non-academic audience. One of the primary challenges in creating a ridge to reef plan is the technical challenge of covering an interdisciplinary topic. Our guide paves the way for users to get quickly gain an understanding of all relevant disciplines and appropriate tools for ridge to reef.
