As opencast coal mining is a temporary use of land, there is a need for the restoration of mine dumps after completion of mining activities. Vegetation on the mine dumps is beneficial to control the coal dust dispersion, soil erosion, sedimentation, and ultimately improve the soil quality ( Mukhopadhyay et al., 2017 ).

Coal mines are globally an important source of methane and also one of the largest point sources of methane. We present a high-resolution 0.1° × 0.1° bottom-up gridded emission inventory for methane emissions from coal mines in India and Australia, which are among the top 5 coal producing countries in 2018. The aim is to reduce the uncertainty in local coal mine methane emissions and to ...
