Literature 1 - Framing the Communities Impacted by Industry in Environmental Disaster This set of literature aims to characterize the communities being targeted by the fracking industry. The goal is to establish whether or not certain characteristics make a community more or less vulnerable to harmful industry practice, by situating fracking communities among other victims of industry-caused environmental disaster.

Literature 2 - The Environmental Impacts of Fracking This second set of literature will aim to capture the environmental impacts of hydraulic fracturing. The communities surrounding the natural gas developments will be immediately impacted by detrimental environmental impacts. Therefore, understanding these impacts will provide a better idea of how communities are affected.

Literature 3 - Recorded Concerns and Past Efforts to Try and Fight Back Against Fracking This set of literature will hopefully provide a background and a timeline of efforts to prevent the natural gas industry from negatively impacting communities. This will provide an idea of where past leadership has emerged, how/if communities have been able to structure themselves to combat environmental disaster. It will also show which levels of governance have been involved in such tasks.
