Coal seam gas alarm raised

The irreversible damage that mining for coal seam gas can wreak on cropping land through subsidence was a highlight of a scientific paper published by four members of The Royal Society of Queensland in its 2022 annual Proceedings. Lead author was Assoc. Professor Peter Dart of the University of Queensland.

Dr Dart issued a press release in late September. The ABC gave an account of this threat in a news piece published on 8 October 2022 and Queensland Country Life on 11 October.
