## Introduction

This report is intended to provide a systematic listing of more recent
papers and reports by the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) that focus on
coal occurrences outside of the United States. Included herein are
bibliographic entries listed by country or region for papers and reports
that include one or more USGS authors and deal primarily with coal or
coal-bed methane. Also included are selected topical studies conducted
by coal scientists on other, usually disseminated, organic and related
geologic materials, and selected regional geologic studies conducted in
conjunction with USGS international coal activities. Not included are
studies on oil and gas (except source rock investigations of coal) and
oil shale. Selected USGS international petroleum investigations are
cited in Masters (1994).

This report generally contains citations from the mid-1980\'s through
papers in press as of June 1998. Earlier papers for some countries are
included if they are particularly relevant to later or on-going work.
Included in this listing are some administrative reports that may not
have been published as formal reports or that may have been issued by
cooperating agencies. In some cases availability of these reports is
limited to copies on file. Although this compilation is comprehensive,
some reports may have been omitted inadvertently, and in a few cases,
less significant or redundant citations were intentionally omitted. This
bibliography can be updated with entries posted after June 1998 by
visiting the searchable publications database on the USGS Eastern Energy
Team home page at
[http://energy.er.usgs.gov](http://energy.er.usgs.gov./) or the USGS
Geologic Division home page at
[http://geology.usgs.gov](http://geology.usgs.gov/).

A preliminary version of this report was originally distributed on an
informal basis in conjunction with a paper (SanFilipo and Warwick, 1995)
presented at the Tenth V.E. Mckelvey Forum on Mineral and Energy
Resources: *Energy and the Environment - Application of Geosciences to
Decision-Making*, held in Washington D.C., in February of 1995.
