Roof Water Disaster in Coal Mining in Ecologically Fragile Mining Areas, 2023 Formation Mechanism and Prevention and Control Measures Professional Practice in Earth Sciences Series

This book targets to earth scientists and engineers, in particular students, researchers, managers, and practitioners, who are interested in mining engineering, environmental engineering, green coal mining, sustainable water resource management, and effective measures to balance mine safety and ecological conservation.

In the disciplines of mine hydrogeology and mining engineering, there have always been difficulties in the theoretical interpretation of the changes in the physical and hydraulic characteristics of water resisting strata during coal seam mining. In the past 10 years, the authors studied the relevant contents by using the methods of physical simulation, numerical simulation, field test and mining practice of similar materials, so as to understand the internal relationship between the stratigraphic sedimentary characteristics of the mining area and the occurrence mechanism of mine water disaster. On the premise of analyzing and studying the stratigraphic sedimentary environment in the mining area in detail, it is of great significance for the realization of "coal water" dual resource mining in the mining area to divide the types of roof water disaster in the mining area and study the formation mechanism of mine water disaster caused by different rock formation combinations and mining methods.

Yifan Zeng , associate professor, is mainly engaged in research and teaching related to mine water disaster prevention and resource utilization, and has participated in several national major mine accident investigations. He has successively presided over 3 sub projects of the National Key Research and Development Plan, 2 projects of the National Natural Science Foundation, and 2 projects of the China Postdoctoral Fund; Participated in 11 vertical projects such as national major scientific research instrument development projects, National Natural Science Key Fund, National Science and Technology Support Plan, and consulting projects of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; Won 12 provincial and ministerial level scientific and technological progress awards including the Ministry of Education (including 5 first prizes), 1 of the top ten geological science and technology progress awards of the Chinese Geological Society, the Springer Thesis Prize, and the China Youth Geological Science and Technology Award - Golden Hammer Award; Published over 60 academic papers, including over 40 SCI/EI search papers; 36 authorized invention patents; Published 5 monographs in both Chinese and English, including 1 English monograph; Participate in the revision of "Coal Mine Safety Regulations" and "Detailed Rules for Water Prevention and Control in Coal Mines". He also serves as a member of the Water Hazard Prevention and Control Special Committee of the Technical Committee of the Coal Industry, a member of the Technical Committee of the National Coal Mine Water Hazard Prevention and Control Engineering Technology Research Center, the Chief Scientist of the Coal Mining Area Comprehensive Treatment Engineering Technology Innovation Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Deputy Secretary General of the Mine Emergency and Safety Committee of the Chinese Safety Management Society, and the Deputy Secretary General of the Mine Water Prevention and Utilization Special Commit
