At depths below about 800-1000m, CO2 has a liquid-like density that permits the efficient use of underground reservoirs in porous sedimentary rocks. As an effect, underground geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) has considerable potential for mitigating climate change. The papers in the presen..

Mining activities may result in rock mass deterioration and instability that may lead to failure both in underground and open pit mines. Such deterioration represents a safety risk and may result in financial losses. Rock mass response may lead to ground subsidence, fall of ground/caving, inundation..

Trace Elements in Coal and Coal Combustion Residues focuses on trace metal chemistry of coal and coal combustion residues. Special emphasis is placed on management of coal combustion residues in electric power plants and the influence of coal and associated residues on soils, plants, water, and anim..
