• Seismic Network Operations at a Deep Underground Coal Mining District in Western Colorado (USA)
  8/1/2009 - Conference papers
  This paper describes network installation and methods used to collect, process, and distribute seismicity information collected on the surface above two longwall coal mines in western Colorado, and gives several examples of the collected data.
• Monitoring Coal Mine Seismicity with an Automated Wireless Digital Strong-Motion Network
  7/1/2008 - Conference papers
  This paper describes a seismic network installed in western Colorado in the vicinity of three underground coal mines, its features for user access to data, and then gives two examples of seismic events resulting in some damage to mine workings.
• Safer Mine Layouts for Underground Stone Mines Subjected to Excessive Levels of Horizontal Stress
  4/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  At an underground stone mine, a modified stress-control mine layout is reducing hazardous conditions associated with excessive horizontal stress. Findings show that the layout provides more stable conditions, resulting in a safer working environment.
• Microseismic Activity Associated With a Deep Longwall Coal Mine
  2/1/2002 - Conference papers
  A deep longwall coal mine was instrumented with a 3-D microseismic system to help determine the exact strata mechanics associated with rock failure, redistribution of stress and associated gob formation from the longwall.
• 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.
• Geologic Parameters for Identifying Areas of Increased Methane and Mining-induced Seismicity at Deep Coal Mines
  1/16/2024 - Research projects
  A pilot project to determine the geological variables linked to high methane concentrations and increased mining-induced seismicity in underground coal mines.
• ObsPlus: A Pandas-centric ObsPy Expansion Pack
  4/1/2021 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A description of ObsPlus and how it can improve seismological data processing and management.
• Application of a Convolutional Neural Network for Seismic Phase Picking of Mining-induced Seismicity
  1/1/2021 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A 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.
• Geologic Data Collection and Assessment Techniques in Coal Mining for Ground Control
  1/1/2020 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An article covering geologic exploratory methods, data organization, and the value of collecting and interpreting geologic information in coal mines to enhance safety and production.
• Evaluation of Seismic Potential in a Longwall Mine with Massive Sandstone Roof Under Deep Overburden
  7/17/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An article describing the development of seismic forecast maps based on the geology of previous seismic locations.
