1638258Allen, David T.Production of natural gas and natural gas co-products has been enhanced dramatically in the United States, enabled by technologies such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing of shale formations. This transformation in the production of shale gas and oil is directly impacting US fuel distribution, electrical generation, and water distribution infrastructures, and is expanding fuel exports. These collective changes in water, electricity and fuel infrastructures will also impact agricultural production and air quality. This project will assess the robustness and resiliency of international, interdependent, natural gas infrastructures, infrastructures needed to provide electrical energy, and the interaction of these fuel and electricity infrastructures with water systems, agricultural activity, and air quality. Using the case study of the border between Mexico and the United States, the project will examine the opportunities and constraints imposed on international infrastructures by trade policies and shared water and air resources. The project will employ advanced simulation and visualization tools to assess and communicate information concerning the state of the infrastructures. The project will create coupled fuel, electricity, water and air quality models for Texas and eastern Mexico, develop visualization tools to depict the interactions of these multi-layer, multi-resource, multi-timescale, multi-geographical scale models, and use the coupled models to test the resiliency of the multiple integrated systems to natural perturbations and trade policy scenarios affecting water and energy markets. Decision support tools that will help decision-makers will be created and deployed, and new educational materials that promote a better understanding of interdependent fuel, electricity, water and food infrastructures will be crafted. The educational materials will take multiple forms including course modules, videos, radio and television segments and open access courses. Multiple audiences will be targeted including researchers, graduate students, undergraduate students, and the general public. Dissemination avenues will include television, public radio, web, and direct interactions with teachers and the general public. Decision support tools will be applied to examine strategic decisions associated with changing infrastructures.

1638258 Allen，大卫T.天然气和天然气副产品的生产在美国已经显著提高，这是通过诸如页岩地层的水平钻井和水力压裂等技术实现的。页岩气和石油生产的这种转变直接影响了美国的燃料分配、发电和供水基础设施，并扩大了燃料出口。水、电和燃料基础设施的这些集体变化也将影响农业生产和空气质量。该项目将评估国际相互依存的天然气基础设施、提供电能所需的基础设施以及这些燃料和电力基础设施与供水系统、农业活动和空气质量的相互作用的稳健性和弹性。该项目将利用墨西哥和美国之间边界的案例研究，审查贸易政策和共有水和空气资源给国际基础设施带来的机会和限制。该项目将采用先进的模拟和可视化工具来评估和交流有关基础设施状况的信息。该项目将为德克萨斯州和墨西哥东部创建耦合的燃料，电力，水和空气质量模型，开发可视化工具来描述这些多层，多资源，多时间尺度，多地理尺度模型的相互作用，并使用耦合模型来测试多个集成系统对影响水和能源市场的自然扰动和贸易政策情景的弹性。将创建和部署有助于决策者的决策支持工具，并将编制新的教育材料，以促进更好地了解相互依存的燃料、电力、水和粮食基础设施。教材将采取多种形式，包括课程模块、录像、广播和电视节目以及开放课程。多个受众将有针对性，包括研究人员，研究生，本科生和公众。传播途径将包括电视、公共广播、网络以及与教师和公众的直接互动。决策支持工具将用于审查与不断变化的基础设施相关的战略决策。
