10/1/2003 - Conference papersMiners, like many skilled blue-collar workers, are not traditional learners. They have not always been successful in classroom-type settings, preferring to learn on the job in a hands-on environment.
-
8/1/2003 - Conference papersThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate the preliminary findings of a long-term underground study of various types of surface support liners, and to examine installation practices that are critical for an effective liner material application.

8/1/2003 - Conference papersThis paper utilizes rock-fall-related incident narratives from the MSHA database for a taxonomic analysis, which identifies event root causes and provides future direction for corrective measures to reduce the probability of event occurrence.
-
7/1/2003 - Conference papersThis study indicates that it may be possible to use ground penetrating radar (GPR) for initial underground mine studies followed by directional drilling to accurately delineate the extent and position of adjacent abandoned mine workings.

10/1/2002 - Conference papersThe roles of main mine fans in underground mines are to induce airflow and continuously remove hazardous gases and dust. This paper concentrates on those mines having only one fan to provide ventilation needs.
-
10/1/2002 - Conference papersOverview of a variety of techniques and methods that can be used to improve the air quality in underground stone mines.
-
8/1/2002 - Conference papersThe story of how roof bolting was implemented by the mining industry, but took so long to live up to its promise, is a fascinating example of the interaction between economics, technology, regulation, and science. It still has important lessons for today.
