4. I. Research Question posed to us by Ed Knittel • How much and what research literature exists on the impacts of natural gas extraction by hydraulic fracturing on gas extraction communities? Specifically dealing with the following issues: • Crime • Housing • Population and planning issues • Poverty • Roads and transportation • Tourism

5. II. Methodology: This bibliography is the result of a systematic search of the literature • Identified (9) relevant bibliographic databases • Created structured search queries for each database • Captured and classified all relevant results in a spreadsheet • Recorded bibliographic information about source • Developed a keyword, searchable project website to facilitate access to this electronic bibliography thatcurrently contains 1234 records (March 2013) : • http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/org/marcellus-biblio/

6. III.Source Origins: National Shale Plays and Number of Research Studies by City

7. III. Source Origins: Pennsylvania

8. IV. Our review of the literature turned up few references in areas of local concern* Most of the literature discusses: • Economy (jobs, economic impact) (213) • Public health and environment (human health, pollution) (588) • Engineering techniques (109) There is little discussion of: • Crime (2) • Housing (8) • Population and planning issues (2) • Poverty (2) • Roads and transportation (3) • Tourism (3) • *Appendix 1 contains links to references in these categories
