Coal Geology & Exploration
Coal Geology & Exploration was founded in 1973, and is a monthly publication(from January 2022), which is supervised by China Coal Technology and Engineering Group(CCTEG) and sponsored by Xi’an Research Institute of CCTEG. It is the longest established and most influential comprehensive scientific and technical journal in the field of coal geology, opening to domestic and foreign public circulation with equal emphasis on academic and practical technology in coal geology industry.
