Coal mine safety is of paramount concern to mining industry. Mine accidents have various causes and consequences including catastrophic failure of mine, substantial economic losses and most notably loss of lives. Therefore, any initiative in mine monitoring is of vital importance for progressing safety surveillance and maintenance.

Modeling of ECBM recovery from Amasra coalbed in Zonguldak Basin, Turkey
Sınayuç, Çağlar (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-07)
Zonguldak coal basin is the only productive hard coal basin of Turkey. The eastern part of the basin is called as Bartin-Amasra District, which has deeper coal seams. The depth and difficulty of mining these coal seams make this district an important candidate for coalbed methane (CBM) recovery. However, there is not enough reservoir data for modeling purposes. In this study, the lithologic information collected for coal mining industry was used to determine the correlations and the continuity of the coal s...
Analysis of roof fall hazards and risk assessment for Zonguldak coal basin underground mines
Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-17)
The roof fall hazards are frequent problems of underground coal mines, which are generally unpredictable due to the associated uncertainties. These uncertainties, which arise from geological and stress conditions and mine environment, make the control of roof fall hazards difficult in underground coal mines. The most efficient method for coping with uncertainties in roof fall hazards is the use of risk assessment techniques. In this study, a risk assessment and management methodology is proposed for roof fa...
Development of a gis-based monitoring and management system for underground mining safety
Şalap, Seda; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2008)
Mine safety is of paramount concern to the mining industry. The generation of a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) which can administrate relevant spatial data and metadata of underground mining safety efficiently is a very vital issue in this sense. In an effort to achieve a balance of safety and productivity, GIS can contribute to the creation of a safe working environment in underground (U/G) mining. Such a system should serve to a continuous risk analysis and be designed for applications in case of em...
Surface coal mine area monitoring using multi-temporal high-resolution satellite imagery
Demirel, Nuray; Duzgun, H. Sebnem (Elsevier BV, 2011-04-01)
Surface mining activities, exploitation of ore and stripping and dumping overburden, cause changes on the land cover and land use of the mine area. Sustainable mining requires continuous monitoring of these changes to identify the long-term impacts of mining on environment and land cover to provide essential safety measures. In this sense, digital image classification provides a powerful tool to obtain a rigorous data and hence diminishes the essence of time-consuming and costly field measurements. There ar...
Indicator-based sustainability assessment for the mining sector plans: Case of Afsin-Elbistan Coal Basin
Yaylaci, Evren Deniz; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem (Elsevier BV, 2016-08-01)
Environmental, social and economic impacts of the mining sector are evaluated separately or holistically with different tools at the project- and strategic-level in order to achieve effective resource management and to prevent unsound mining operations. As coal is one of the extensively utilized primary energy sources in the world, the coal mining and its negative impacts are criticized frequently in terms of sustainability criteria. Therefore, integrating the sustainability criteria at the strategic level ...
