The field of pore pressure analysis is the study of how pressures within rock pores vary with depth inside the subsurface. In the field of exploration, pore pressure holds particular significance for drilling and discovery purposes. Modern drilling teams often need a subsurface pore pressure map in order to drill safely and efficiently.

A mine-rim slope is a slope system that develops as the opencast mine progresses and is dumped over again by tipping material in the wake of the mining. With extraction taking place on individual benches and with berm-wise dumping, the result is a "stepped" system for a mine-rim slope (cf. Figure 1) with its greatest longitudinal

First of all, the layer of earth overburden above the first coal seam has to be removed. (The seam can be up to 200 meters below the surface.) All the earth around the base of the seam is removed before extraction begins. When the hole is large enough, the miners dig down to the next layer of coal. Each layer is called a bench.
