Recent advances in coal geology are highlighted. The increase in our knowledge of peat formation is emphasized and the application of hydrological models of mire systems to coal-bearing strata is advocated. The importance of coalification studies to the geological community as a whole should not be underestimated, Consideration of the original peat-forming vegetation by coal geologists is advocated. Both conceptual and technical advances in coal geology are reviewed. Integration of different disciplines is likely to yield further insights into the study of coal and coal-bearing strata.
