Studies - Advances in Field and Laboratory Research, the companion
to volumes 1-4, includes the latest research findings about coal
and peat fires in the United States, China, India, France, Spain,
Poland, and Ireland. Included are chapters about the discovery of
microarthropods at two mine fires, the oldest recorded uses of
burning coal, the effects of combustion and coal waste on a
riverine system, remote sensing analysis of coal fires, gas
explosion and spontaneous combustion experiments, and phases
associated with the by-products of combustion. This essential
reference, along with volumes 1-4, includes a companion website
with an interactive world map of coal and peat fires, a collection
of slide presentations, research data, and videos:
