UK Coal Mining Parent Phase Chronology for Underground Workings

The dataset records the chronology of proposed and actual underground coal mining phases, managed by the Mining Remediation Authority. It tracks the transition of mining areas from planned extraction to actual extraction over time. The data was last updated on 2026-04-14.

Use Cases

• Track the progression of mining projects from planning to execution based on the 'Proposed' and 'Actual' phase concepts.
• Analyze the temporal footprint of underground coal extraction activities based on the recorded chronology.
• Support environmental impact assessments for mining remediation based on the spatial and temporal data of workings.

Strengths

• Managed by the authoritative Mining Remediation Authority, which succeeded the UK Coal Authority.
• Explicitly defines key operational concepts ('Actual' and 'Proposed') for clarity.
• Last updated on 2026-04-14, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to uk_data.
