Coal Fire Collapse Structure and Paralava Chemistry Data for Jharia, India

Data for Figure S6 and S8 supports analysis of coal fire-induced collapse structures in East Jharia, India. The dataset includes results from field examination, mineralogical and microstructural analysis, and numerical modelling of combustion gas and heat emissions. Author Colin Hills published the 347.5 KB dataset under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare, last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling combustion gas and heat emissions to the atmosphere based on collapse structure morphology.
• Analyzing the mineralogical and chemical differences between transformation products like glass and monolayers.
• Comparing coal fire emission magnitudes, such as against reported UK territory data.
• Studying the link between coal fires and past climate change events based on the geological context.

Strengths

• Includes field, mineralogical, microstructural, and numerical modelling data for a multi-faceted analysis.
• Emissions data is compared against a reported 2023 UK territory benchmark.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is contained in PDF files, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
• The 347.5 KB size indicates a very limited scope, likely a small supplementary dataset.
