2. Physics of Coal and Mining Processes

   By Anatoly D. Alexeev

   Around the world, on average, four coal miners die for each million tons of coal recovered. Improving the safety of mining work while responding to the need for increased coal production, however, is impossible without further development of the physics of mining processes. A relatively new branch...

3. Gravity and Magnetic Methods for Geological Studies

   Principles, Integrated Exploration and Plate Tectonics

   By Dinesh C. Mishra

   Gravity and magnetic methods can be directly related to physical properties of rocks, i.e. the density and the susceptibility, and are very useful to field geologists and geophysicists in the mapping and identification of various rock types. They are also used for the detection of minerals with...

7. Microwave Propagation and Remote Sensing

   Atmospheric Influences with Models and Applications

   By Pranab Kumar Karmakar

   Because prevailing atmospheric/troposcopic conditions greatly influence radio wave propagation above 10 GHz, the unguided propagation of microwaves in the neutral atmosphere can directly impact many vital applications in science and engineering. These include transmission of intelligence, and radar...
