longwall mining
is what Bucksch Dict. of Geotechnical Engineering calls "Strebbau", which designates one method of mineral (or coal) extraction. This is IMO almost identical to "Strebbetrieb" except that I would include "operations" as follows:
"...is currently being exploited by two longwall mining operations."
Kohle(n)flöz is rendered by coal seam, coalbed or coal stratum according to Bucksch.
"...is currently being exploited by two longwall mining operations."
Kohle(n)flöz is rendered by coal seam, coalbed or coal stratum according to Bucksch.
