Résumé

Coal Geology covers all aspects of coal geology in one volume, bridging the gap between the academic aspects and the practical role of geology in the coal industry. It examines the environmental implications of mining and using coal, addresses how modern computer methods are facilitating coal studies, and reviews the changing market for coal and its usage in the present and future industrialised economies.

Includes current thinking on environmental issues
Presents a useful synopsis of the alternative uses of coal as an energy source
Contains the distribution and reserves of coal deposits worldwide
Offers a summary of coal sales and marketing opportunities
Includes International Standards listing
Includes an update on global coal reserves and production

Starting with background information on coal and all its properties, the book focuses on techniques used for coal exploration, and the geophysical and hydrogeological investigations of coal deposits. Suitable for mining geologists, engineers, developers and other professionals working in the coal industry. Would also be beneficial for libraries, coal societies, oil/gas companies, and national and state geological surveys. This book would make an ideal reference for undergraduates taking courses in coal geology, petroleum geology, coal petrology, stratigraphy, sedimentary and mining engineering.
