The Most Basin has a character of a graben, especially its central part. The area of the basin is closed between the Ore Mountains and the Bohemian Central Mountains. In a relation with this ortho...

The Brown Coal Research Institute j.s.c. is currently conducting long-term research on the development of the Czech Republic’s climate and its impacts on mining activities. The research deals with the overall assessment of climate change in the Czech Republic and the main attention is paid to the area of the Most Basin, which is known as the largest Czech brown coal deposit. In addition, the basic air pollution characteristics in this area are monitored for a long time and trends in relation to climate change are ...

The Brown Coal Research Institute j. s. c. is realising the long term research and survey in the field of restoration problems and it is realising the long term research of climate changes in the Czech Republic including impacts to mining operations during research programme of the European Union TEXMIN solving too. The input of expected temperature increasing and precipitation decreasing is favourable for mining operation from point of view of overburden and mining cuts stability, safety of mining and mining cost...
