We will explore the science of coal mining and its aftermath mine drainage. The course will use field trips (museums, mines, streams, treatment sites), video, class discussions, computer models, Internet explorations, and recent publications to understand coal mine drainage. We will start with the history and geology of coal. Then, explore the technology of mining both past and present. We will use a groundwater model to understand how the mines interact with water. We will discuss the chemistry of mine drainage formation and see its effects on the biology of streams. We will see first hand how new technologies have been developed to treat mine drainage. Through the study of abandoned mine drainage we will examine the interrelationships in nature and see that by working together we can make a difference in our environment.
