Professor Joan Esterle
PhD Coal Geology, University of Kentucky 1990; MSc Coal Geology,
University of Kentucky 1984; BA Geology, Duke University 1976
Joan's interests include Coal mine geology and gas drainage, coal seam gas reservoir analysis, unconventional gas, controls on spatial variability in coal quality, gas and ground conditions.
Joan's capabilities include Coal geosciences (petrology and sedimentary analysis); integrated analysis of geological, coal quality and gas data to understand and potentially predict and mitigate geological hazards that impact on ground behaviour during mining and/or gas extraction, and coal behaviour during processing and utilisation or during gas extraction.
