Central Appalachia flatter due to mountaintop mining http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/02/160205134955.htm
Posted: 05 Feb 2016 10:49 AM PST Forty years of mountaintop coal mining have made parts of Central Appalachia 60 percent flatter than they were before excavation, researchers say. This study, which compares pre- and post-mining topographic data in southern West Virginia, is the first to examine the large-scale impact of mountaintop mining on landscape topography and how the changes influence water quality. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=TZ_Xy9iUEug:i9NGYkoch5c:Gqkty0xVXF4
