Description:   Information was given of field installations and procedural guidelines for monitoring the gas transfer mechanisms within a waste rock pile. Descriptions were given of all the techniques which are commonly used to measure the parameters associated with gas transfer, including gas diffusion, gas permeability and thermal conductivity. Also studied were techniques for monitoring temperature and oxygen concentrations within a waste pile.
