Longwall mining - Global Energy Monitor
2021-11-18 Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically 1-2 m thick). The longwall "panel" (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3-4 km long and 250-400 m wide. Longwall mining produced 176 million tons of coal in 2007, about 15 percent of total U.S. production.

Measurement of Longwall Mining Induced Strata
2014-2-14 Longwall mining induces rock deformation, delamination, intensive fractures and breakages of the overlying strata and as such may interfere with the groundwater regime operating in the mine region. In addition to the site specific hydraulic characteristics mining induced strata deformation and associated fracturing will dictate the extent of ...
