Fracking

Excellent lecture by Dr. Anthony Ingraffea, a Cornell University engineering professor, on fracking (hydraulic fracturing).  Dr. Ingraffea's research concentrates on computer simulation and physical testing of complex fracturing processes.




It's almost 2 hours long but well worth watching if you're interested in this controversial method that companies want to use to recover natural gas from the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and New York.  It's a very engaging lecture and you'll learn a lot.
