Arielle Hesse is a postdoctoral researcher on the EPA funded project WISDOM: Learning from Group Water Schemes, led by Dr. Patrick Bresnihan in the Department of Geography at Trinity College Dublin. Trained as an environmental health geographer at the Pennsylvania State University, her previous research examined the regulatory politics of occupational and environmental health exposures in the US oil and gas industry. Drawing influence from environmental history, science and technology studies, public health and health geography, this work focused on federal and state efforts to regulate the activities of the hydraulic fracturing industry to protect water resources from chemical contamination and to protect workers from exposures to carcinogenic dust.
