A global exploration of coal geology, from production and use to chemical properties and coal petrology

Coal Geology, 3rd Edition, offers a revised and updated edition of this popular book which provides a comprehensive overview of the field of coal geology including coal geophysics, hydrogeology and mining. Also covered in this volume are fully revised coverage of resource and reserve definitions, equipment and recording techniques together with the use of coal as an alternative energy source as well as environmental implications.

This third edition provides a textbook ideally suited to anyone studying, researching or working in the field of coal geology, geotechnical engineering and environmental science.
* Fills the gap between academic aspects of coal geology and the practical role of geology in the coal industry
* Examines sedimentological and stratigraphical geology, together with mining, geophysics, hydrogeology, environmental issues and coal marketing
* Defines global coal resource classifications and methods of calculation
* Addresses the alternative uses of coal as a source of energy
* Covers a global approach to coal producers and consumers
