How about the impact on ground water due to increased use from drilling companies. There is some good info on the DNR homepage.
Also, impacts on aquifers are well documented. She could build a model with an aquarium with differernt layers of strata to show what happens if you pull to much water out.
the jurassic part does sound like it would be interesting to the kids. if we went this way with the project i would definatly need some help. this is her last year doing science fair projects and since haynesville shale will be around for a long time i think she could really learn alot and look back on it. my email address is ewalker_26@bellsouth.net. thanks so much!!
she is going to need a title, problem. hypothesis, procedure, results and conclusion. if you know of some websites off hand or other ways we can get information so we can start studying up on it and getting ideas that would help. i can't wait for her to get out of school. she is going to be so excited about this and your help. thanks so very much!!!
Haynesville,
Reminds me of the time I stuck my pocket knife in the electrical outlet in Earth Sciences class as a freshman in high school. Caused a heck of a commotion. Got me in a lot of trouble. And it screwed up a real good pocketknife. I never was too bright.
