The University of British Columbia Energy and Environment Research Initiative (EERI) is a field focused research program that uses a number of scientific studies to understand the potential environmental risks posed by energy resource development. The primary focus is to increase knowledge on fugitive gas leaks from resource development and to increase understanding of unintentional gas transport through shallow groundwater and into the atmosphere.
