• Three Dimensional Microseismic Monitoring of a Utah Longwall
  7/1/2001 - Conference papers
  In Utah, 3-D, full waveform, autonomous microseismic arrays were placed underground and on the surface of a longwall coal mine with overburden exceeding 750 m. Overall 13,000 seismic events, including a magnitude 4.2 event, were detected and located.
• Rock Damage Characterisation from Microseismic Monitoring
  7/1/2001 - Conference papers
  Outlines the concepts used to correlate rock failure with microseismic events and presents examples of microseismic monitoring together with associated computer modeling of the rock failure from several mine sites.
• A Case Study of Roof Bolting Tasks to Identify Cumulative Trauma Exposure
  3/1/2001 - Conference papers
  An analysis of roof bolting tasks was conducted at a mine to identify early warning signs of cumulative trauma. Health and safety risk factors were identified and recommendations to reduce cumulative trauma exposure were provided.
• Application of the Coal Mine Roof Rating (CMRR) to Extended Cuts
  4/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  The Coal Mine Roof Rating (CMRR) has been widely accepted as a tool for geologic characterization and mine planning. The application of the CMRR to extended cuts (cuts greater that 6 m (20 ft) in length) is discussed.
• 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.
