• Comparison of Whole-Body Vibration Exposures on Older and Newer Haulage Trucks at an Aggregate Stone Quarry Operation
  8/1/2008 - Conference papers
  This testing monitored the performance of older and newer truck models relative to whole-body vibration (WBV) exposures as a means for determining when the vehicle (e.g., suspension system) and seats required maintenance or replacement.
• A Portable Spectro-Polarimetric Imager: Potential Mine Safety and Geologic Applications
  3/1/1999 - Conference papers
  High-resolution hyperspectral imagery operating in the visible to shortwave infrared can help identify and map argillic zones in host rocks; these zones add a significant risk in assessing and modeling catastrophic slope movement in open-pit mines.
• Open Pit Highwall Safety
  11/29/2022 - Research projects
  A project to determine the need for improved bench design guidelines and develop slope monitoring radar guidelines for application to open pit mines.
• Highwall Safety: Rockfall Catchment Design and Slope Performance Monitoring at Surface Mines and Quarries
  11/8/2022 - Research projects
  A project to increase the safety of open pit mines through improving upon or developing new rockfall catch bench design guidelines and improving slope performance monitoring capabilities at open pit and quarry sites.
• Developing a New Tension Crack Analysis System to Increase the Safety of Open Pit Slopes
  2/6/2020 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to develop an early warning system for effective maintenance of open pit mine stability.
• Ventilation of Deep Open Pit Mines with Special Reference to Air Inversion in Arctic or Subarctic Regions
  7/17/2014 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A capacity-building contract to evaluate and enhance the atmospheric health and safety conditions in open pit mines, with special reference to air inversion in arctic or subarctic regions.
• Technology News 516 - ARMPS-HWM: New Software for Sizing Pillars for Highwall Mining
  3/1/2006 - Technology News
  The use of highwall mining systems has increased substantially in open-pit coal mines. It is used where overburden depth exceeds economical recovery. Highwall stability remains the major safety concern during highwall mining. The Mine Safety and Health ...
