Join HEI's Energy & Health program on Friday, May 17, 2024, at noon EDT for our second webinar titled, Regional and Local Perspectives related to Cumulative Impacts.

HEI Energy's March 2024 Quarterly Research Updates are now available.

You will find the latest progress from each of our 5 exposure studies in communities affected by oil and gas development.

The program is advancing our understanding of exposure in several ways:

HEI Energy has funded a study under RFQ E23-2: Regional Groundwater Modeling to Understand Community Exposures Associated with Oil and Gas Development.

 Led by Dr. James Saiers at Yale University, the team will be building a model to understand groundwater and well water vulnerability to contamination from unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD) across the Marcellus region.

Webinar materials for "Geoscientific Analysis and Community Engagement" are now available. 
 

Join HEI Energy for an upcoming webinar with Drs. Jennifer Baka and Susan L. Brantley on December 18, 2023 at 2pm (EDT).

They will present their research on potential groundwater contamination related to unconventional oil and gas development in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The research team will highlight their interdisciplinary research approach involving geoscientific analyses and community engagement.

The Health Effects Institute Energy (HEI Energy) is pleased to inform you of the release of two new funding opportunities for qualified research teams.

We are pleased to announce HEI Energy’s September 2023 Quarterly Research Updates. They describe progress and next steps for five exposure studies in communities affected by oil and gas development. The research teams have been diligently advancing in the following key areas:

1. Monitoring air quality and noise in multiple oil and gas regions.

2. Developing a model to predict effects of oil and gas operations on local and regional air quality.

On June 27, HEI Energy hosted a webinar "Social Science and Environmental Health: Case Studies of Research Collaborations." This webinar presented three case studies of research collaborations between social scientists and environmental health scientists.
 

The webinar included the following talks:
