Key Words: Marcellus Shale, Energy literacy, Natural gas, hydrofracking, Museum of the Earth, alternate energy sources, full energy education
Don Duggan-Haas is the Director of Teacher Programs at PRI and its Museum of the Earth & Cayuga Nature Center in Ithaca, NY. Don’s work in teacher education, teacher professional development and curriculum materials development marries deep understandings of how people learn with deep understandings of the Earth system. As part of the PRI’s Marcellus Shale team, Don co-authored the book, The Science Beneath the Surface: A Very Short Guide to the Marcellus Shale, and has given many public presentations on hydraulic fracturing (a.k.a., “fracking”), providing scientific information about unconventional drilling in the Marcellus Shale and contextualizing it in the larger energy system. The book, like the associated presentations and educator professional development is done without advocating for or against fracking. MORE
