Correction

Thursday’s brief, “Lecture on environmental effect will be held Friday,” should have said pollution created by the gas well was not included in the university’s carbon footprint analysis. Also, the civil engineering department is not hosting the event.
The Air and Waste Management Association UTA chapter is hosting a lecture on the environmental consequences of natural gas wells at noon Friday in 202 Nedderman Hall.

Al Armendariz, environmental and civil engineering assistant professor at Southern Methodist University, will speak about his research on the topic.

AWMA faculty adviser Melanie Sattler said Armendariz’s research includes measuring the emissions coming from natural gas drilling and deciding if they are significant on a regional basis.

AWMA secretary Vinodh Kumar Valluri said Armendariz’s research is important because pollution created by the gas well was not included in the university’s carbon footprint.

“It’s important to understand the aspects of having a gas well on campus,” he said. “How safe is it and what can we do to keep the air clean?”
