Sharing our expertise
Jeff Skousen is widely known for his expertise in the area of mine reclamation.
The professor of soil science in WVUs Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design and land reclamation specialist with the WVU Extension Service, has broken new ground, literally and figuratively, in the realm of restoring sites disturbed by previous mining activity.
While the Mountain State has reaped environmental and economic benefits from Skousens research and educational efforts, his scope hasnt been limited to the United States. For almost a decade, hes been helping South Korea deal with its abandoned coal mines.
South Korea has abundant coal reserves and mineral resources, and the mining industry in Korea has played a major role in economic development since the 1960s, Skousen said. Coal was used for home heating and power generation.
