Mining of hard coal creates large underground cavities, which significantly affect the subsurface and land surface. Observations of land surface behaviour after the closure of mines demonstrate that these threats do not disappear. During mine water rebound in the post‑mining phase of underground coalmines, the water flows into the open mine workings and other altered or fissured areas. This paper provides early observations from the PostMinQuake project, which is designed to identify mechanisms, relevant parameters and dependencies of mining and geological parameters causing post-mining seismicity in several European coal regions. It also presents the correlation between seismicity and water table level in the studied basins that has been observed during the post‑mining phase and shows the necessity of implementing new procedures to monitor these seismic events.
