“Methane is increasing globally, but the rate of increase for this region is much more rapid than global increases,” said Peter DeCarlo, who led the study. “The rapid increase in methane is likely due to the increased production of natural gas from the region which has increased significantly over the 2012 to 2015 period.”

Despite a slow down in the number of new natural gas wells in the Marcellus Shale region of Northeast Pennsylvania, new research led by Drexel University finds that atmospheric methane levels in the area are still increasing. Measurements of methane and other air pollutants taken three years apart in the rural areas of Pennsylvania that have been the target of natural gas development over the last decade, revealed a substantial increase from 2012 to 2015.

So, engineers have, um, a bad rep when it, uh, comes to, well you know, public speaking. Techies aren’t known for the most scintillating of presentations and often use lots of filler words—see previous sentence. Certainly, Danish Dhamani ’17 can attest to that. “I was not a really good speaker before,” allows the 22-year-old mechanical engineering senior at Drexel University who hails from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Before, that is, Orai.
