Twice monthly since February 2013, the SGBI has featured the latest news and research related to hydraulic fracturing and its impacts on the environment, health, climate change, and local economies.

In the final two issues of this our third year, we review the major developments we covered during the year, grouping them into the following categories: water and air impacts, land impacts, climate change, economic news, Irish / UK / European news, and health impacts. We hope readers will find these two review issues useful as a reference.

We also remind users to take advantage of our search function (upper right) and the All Issues page to easily access everything we have published on specific topics related to shale gas/oil exploitation. For breaking news, please see our new Facebook page.
