10/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe top five priority hazards associated with underground coal mining equipment have been identified and information about potential contributing factors and controls collated.
-
2/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes three mechanical methods - the mobile manipulator, the in-mine hoist, and a cable-handling system - developed by NIOSH to reduce injuries related to handling supplies or material, loading and unloading, and moving power cables.

8/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articlesLaser-based instruments are used in areas where coal dust ignition presents a safety hazard. This NIOSH study determines when an optical beam may be considered a potential ignition source in underground coal mines or coal storage facilities.
-
8/1/2001 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe CMRR quantifies defects in the rock mass and compiles a strength value used for engineering design. The CMRR has been applied to a number of ground stability problems. The CMRR procedure and some of these applications are described in this paper.
-
3/1/1975 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe theoretical study of UHF radio communication in coal mines, with particular reference to the rate of loss of signal strength along a tunnel, and from one tunnel to another around a corner is the concern of this paper. This work was part of an invest...

Application of a Convolutional Neural Network for Seismic Phase Picking of Mining-induced Seismicity1/1/2021 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA comparison of a convolutional neural network originally trained to pick arrival times on the Southern California Seismic Network to that of human analysts on coal-mine-related mining-induced seismicity.
-
12/1/2020 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article discussing the impact of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, commonly known as black lung, and a general methodology for controlling respirable dust in underground coal mines.
-
8/1/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study examining the differences in chronic health outcomes between coal, uranium, metal, and nonmetal miners.
