1.Introduction to disciplines and majors

This subject is a second-level discipline set up independently within the first-level discipline of mining engineering.

The mining geology engineering discipline is a marginal discipline that applies geological science to mining engineering. This discipline will train national mining production, management departments and research institutions to use basic theories of earth science to solve crisis mine resource exploration, engineering geological disaster prevention, and mining. Senior talents in mine geology with practical problems in engineering fields such as comprehensive utilization of solid waste resources. The establishment of this major is conducive to the stable development of key disciplines in mining engineering, and it is conducive to the cultivation of senior specialists in the intersection of mining engineering and geological science. This professional field will cover the main research directions of the existing master's point mineral census and exploration (engineering), mineralogy-petrology-mineral (science), mining engineering (engineering) and geological engineering (master of engineering) and other disciplines which have broad development prospects.

The mining geology engineering disciplines are organized on the basis of the Department of Resource Engineering, etc,and are related to mineral census and exploration, mineralogy-petrology-mineral deposits, mining engineering, safety technology and engineering, mineral processing engineering, engineering mechanics, civil engineering, environmental science and Engineering and other disciplines are closely related.

2.Training objectives

This subject can be awarded a doctorate in engineering.

The doctoral students trained in this discipline should be in a certain direction in the field of mine geological engineering, that prospective evaluation of mineral resources, monitoring and forecasting and prevention of mine engineering geological disasters, economic evaluation of mineral resources, mine environmental geology and industrial solid waste (Secondary resources） has solid and broad basic theoretical knowledge and systematic in-depth professional knowledge.

3.Research direction

The main research directions of this subject include：

(1) Mineral deposit and replacement resource forecast

This study focuses on the distribution of metal mineral resources and oil-gas resources in the crust, the formation conditions and genesis of deposits and oil-gas reservoirs. The discipline applies geology, geochemistry, geophysics, inclusion mineralogy, GIS technology, mathematical geological methods and a variety of physical, chemical and rock ore testing technologies to study the ore deposit output characteristics and spatial distribution laws, structural ore control laws, wall rock alteration, mineral symbiotic combination characteristics, ore-forming material sources, ore genesis and regional ore-forming laws, so as to provide science for expanding prospective resources Learning materials.The direction also jointly trains graduate students with relevant petroleum research departments to use sedimentology, tectonic geology and geochemical methods to study the conditions of oil and gas formation, migration, accumulation and preservation, and provides a basis for the exploration and development of oil and gas fields.

(2) Micro-seismic monitoring of mine rock movement

Mine disasters such as rock burst, mine water inrush, coal and gas outburst, and geological structure activation caused by rock movement after mining. This research direction adopts new methods and methods at the intersection of geophysics and mining disciplines to systematically study the principles of fracture location and monitoring theory, and gradually formed a research direction with characteristics and advantages. Because the results of this research direction can be found in It is used in many fields such as mining, geology, railway, military, petroleum, etc. Therefore, it has very good development prospects.This research direction, on the one hand, provides new research methods for the field of engineering geology, and on the other hand provides new methods for monitoring and forecasting of geological hazards in mining engineering. This research direction is not only of great significance to the theoretical development of geological disaster prediction, but also has important practical value for mining engineering.

(3)Engineering geological disaster prevention

This research direction flexibly uses the theory of rock and soil mechanics, and proposes and applies general and special technical achievements applicable to the prevention and control of various engineering geological disasters：(1) Layered multiple high-pressure grouting prestressed anchoring technology, which is suitable for the reinforcement of landslides in the above-ground and underground projects and the reinforcement of endangered projects.(2)Non-casing hole-forming technology for loose rock and soil layers, suitable for drilling and hole-forming of various above-ground and underground engineering collapse bodies.(3) The composite anchor pile technology is suitable for the reinforcement treatment of various landslide bodies, high-filled roadbeds and bridge foundations.

(4) Digital mine

This direction applies frontier topics such as multi-information statistics (geostatistics) in the spatial and temporal-spatial domains, and studies modern information technologies such as multi-information statistics and visualization techniques in mining engineering, geological engineering, petroleum engineering, environmental science, agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry. And the application of marine science, urban geology and other fields, multivariate statistical analysis and mineral statistics prediction method research and its practical application.

(5) Mine environmental geology and solid waste recycling

Main contents of research in this direction：Mine environmental hydrogeology and mine environmental engineering geology. To study the comprehensive utilization of solid industrial waste in mines, and use these wastes to manufacture various smelt-type materials, sintered materials, gelled materials and thermal insulation materials, new building materials, etc., as well as treatment agents for industrial waste gas and wastewater And its treatment engineering.
