6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis study's goal was to validate the use of Ventgraph in a deep M/NM mine fire and illustrate its use as a valuable tool in mine ventilation, fire, and evacuation planning.
-
10/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study investigated human response issues related to wearing a self-contained self-rescuer(SCSR). The goal was to develop training to educate miners on what they could expect from their units during an escape.
