About POMHAZ

The "POst-mining Multi-Hazards evaluation for land-planning" (PoMHaZ) project is funded by the European Union funding programme supporting research projects in the coal and steel sectors (Research Fund for Coal and Steel).

Officially launched at the beginning of October 2022, the project ended in January 2026.

The PoMHaZ project gathers highly collaborative research and technology organisations, colectivities and companies around the common objective of improving the hazard assessment and the risk management of abandoned coalmines.

Post-Mining Hazards MOOC

A MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) is now open for all potential persons who would like to know about post-mining hazards and the assessment of multi-hazard.

POMHAZ MOOC - OPAL

The MOOC is structured through 4 modules and 6 videos very well illustrated allowing to learn step by step workflow, from hazard and multi-hazard assessment to the using of the DSS tool with application on concrete case studies, prepared by the partners of the projects.

Decision support system (DSS)

The main results of the last project period is the application of the DSS, https://dss.fzn.thga.de/dss/api, on different case studies from France, Germany, Greece and Poland. At the end of the project, a final update also introduced the option to create and evaluate your own areas investigation for all users.
