“…However, King (1987) conducted a transient-electromagnetic study over Cindered coal seams in Australia and identi ed coal res to a depth of 340m. Further, over the last decades, several techniques have been developed to delineate and monitor the coal res such as, index gas measurements (Xie et al 2011), radon gas measurements (Xie et al 2011), ground temperature measurement (Litschke et al, 2008;Kuenzer et al, 2012), self-potential (SP) method (Rodriguez 1983;Revil and Jardani 2013;Karaoulis et al 201;Shao et al 2014;Singh , 2019Srivardhan et al, 2016, Mishra et al 2018Kumar and Pal 2020), magnetic method (Sternberg and Lippincott 2004;Kumar et al 2015;Shao et al 2014;Pal 2015, 2016;Pal et al 2016Pal et al ,2017Mishra et al 2018), ground penetrating radar method (Gudelach, 2010), controlled source audio magnetotelluric (CSAMT) method (Bartel, 1982), the time-domain electromagnetic technique (King 1987;Schaumann et al 2008) and electrical resistivity pro ling/imaging (Corwin and Hoover 1979;Gangopadhyay 2003;Rodriguez 1983;Karaoulis et al 2014;Xin et al 2015;Pal et al, 2016;Bhattacharya and Shalivahan 2016;Bharti et al 2016a, Shao et al 2016Mishra et al 2018).…”
