1/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper describes the impact of ground control research by the Bureau of Mines and NIOSH on the safety of underground coal miners.
-
6/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the 3D velocity tomograms that were generated to image the stress redistribution around an underground coal longwall panel to produce a better understanding of the mechanisms that lead to ground failure, especially rockbursts.
-
7/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper describes a project in which three-dimensional time-lapse velocity tomograms were generated to image stress redistribution around a longwall panel to produce a better understanding of the mechanisms that lead to ground failure.

5/1/2007 - Conference papers, Information CircularsA detailed evaluation of the multiple-seam experiences at Harris No. 1 Mine was done as part of NIOSH's nationwide multiple-seam mining case history database.
-
5/1/2007 - Information CircularsFor the past several years, NIOSH has been conducting research to develop better techniques for predicting the location and severity of multiple-seam interactions. This paper presents the background to that study.
