The first 20% of the full text of this article appears below.

This Reviews in Engineering Geology volume from the Geological Society of America summarizes and expands on a large body of work related to fires associated with various aspects of coal mining. The book applies a multi-disciplinary approach to studying this global problem using both physical and theoretical perspectives. The 19 peer-reviewed papers that are 10–20 pages in length are organized such that readers can easily locate subject matter most closely aligned with their own research focus. Geology of Coal Fires: Case Studies from around the World is divided into five major sections: practical and theoretical models associated with coal combustion and gaseous combustion products, mineralogy and petrology of earth materials and byproducts heated by coal mine fires, active and passive detection methods, and descriptive case studies discussing social and political implications of these fires. The internationally diverse assemblage of authors provides a global perspective on this problem. The book is recommended reading for professionals in the coal industry, engineering geologists, mining engineers, and others interested in the physical, environmental, and social impact of coal mine fires.

The first five papers deal with spontaneous combustion and greenhouse gasses. The fourth paper in this . . . [Full Text of this Article]
