This skytruthing project is a multi-phase effort to map drilling and hydraulic fracturing (fracking) across the United States using crowdsourced image analysis of aerial and satellite imagery. We need your eyes to help us build a comprehensive map of fracking infrastructure so that researchers can study the environmental and public health implications of this natural resource extraction boom Everything is online, there is nothing to download, and we'll show you what you are looking for. This is "armchair citizen science" that you can do from the comfort of your own home, but it supports real research, in this case, by environmental scientists at Walsh University in N. Canton, Ohio.  About Us: At SkyTruth we work hard to make the unseen impacts of
pollution and industrial development visible to the public. This often means making maps, and with your help we can build unique datasets to better understand the environmental impact of drilling and fracking. Read more about some of our past work in this feature in Conservation Magazine.
