6/1/2005 - Conference papersThis study used microseismic emissions to help identify three local rock failure processes. It was also shown that analysis of microseismic emissions can aid in assessing the degree of instability associated with these local rock failure processes.
-
8/1/2004 - Conference papersMore that 700 microseismic emissions were collected from two underground limestone mine roof fall areas in southwestern PA. Results reveal much about the behavior of strata prone to failure and allow for the construction of hazard maps.

12/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articlesMining has one of the highest annual average fatality rates among major US industries. The US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Pittsburgh Research Laboratory in Pittsburgh, PA is addressing the safety of this new technology.
-
10/1/1999 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publications, Training materialsThe first step to emergency preparedness is defining and analyzing hazards. Although all hazards should be addressed, resource limitations usually do not allow this to happen all at once.
-
4/1/1999 - Conference papersThis paper introduces a technique for incorporating employee participation into the prevention component of a contingency plan.
