Bridging the science, economics,and politics of coal fires
As a man-made hazard affecting limited natural resources in specific locales as much as the atmosphere at large, spontaneous coal seam fires are a delicate object of scientific research. Their very complex nature responds to a whole range of disciplines and necessitates a concerted interdisciplinary and international effort for effective mitigation.
The repercussions of the phenomenon spread right into the realm of society and politics. Coal fires are of relevance not only to scientists and mine managers but also to policy-makers and environmental lobbyists. Under the ever more pressing concern of global climate change, Berlin 2010 may rightly be seen in one trajectory with ongoing multilateral moves toward carbon reduction and management, including the upcoming COP15 conference in Copenhagen 2009 and its follow-up.

COAL-FIRES SCIENCE: READY TO IGNITE AROUND THE WORLD
Boulder, CO, USA – In spite of the human suffering and environmental dangers they cause around the world, naturally burning coal fires and coal fires ignited by human activities receive little attention from the media, compared to other environmental catastrophes. Unfortunately, few university geoscience curricula devote time to the study of these fires. A new volume published by the Geological Society of America may help change that.
