Abstract

Summary

Exploration for Naturl Gas from Shale resources in Europe is at an early stage and it takes many years for these activities, if successful, to mature into pilot tests and full production.

As European Geoscientists and Engineers there is an emerging and increasing duty upon us to link our science and technology through communication to public dialogue and policy making. Companies, governments, trade associations, universities, national institutes, professional societies and scientific societies must to work together in partnership. Information must be disclosed transparently. For peer-review science to be trusted and impartial, it is critical to separate from industry funding and scientific governance. Findings must be communicated clearly to inform reporting to and dialogue with a wide range of press, public and policy-making stakeholders, many of whom may not have a technical background.

These will be increasingly important tasks as our profession helps in meeting the energy challenges of the 21st Century.
