• Description:
  Ground control is the science of studying and controlling the behavior of rock strata in response to mining operations. Ground-control-related research has seen significant advancements over the last 40 years, and these accomplishments are well documented in the proceedings of the annual International Conference on Ground Control in Mining (ICGCM). The ICGCM is a forum to promote closer communication among researchers, consultants, regulators, manufacturers, and mine operators to expedite solutions to ground control problems in mining. Fundamental research and advancements in ground control science define the central core of the conference mission. Providing information to mine operators is a priority, as the conference goal is to offer solutions-oriented information. In addition, the conference has included innovative technologies and ideas in miningrelated fields such as exploration, geology, and surface and underground mining in all commodities. Many new ground control technologies and design standards adopted by the mining industry were first discussed at ICGCM. This conference is recognized as the leading international forum for introducing new ground-control-related research and products. [Description provided by NIOSH]
