His parents were Claude Tissot, a postmaster, and Catherine Virginie Bernot. He entered the École Polytechnique in 1855, graduating 7th out of 144 pupils, then studied at the École des Mines de Paris. He became a member of the Corps des mines. Tissot was appointed Chief Engineer in Algeria, where his entire career was spent. In 1873 Philippe Thomas, a young veterinary officer and geologist, found an exceptional limestone-marl zone in the Lower Eocene plateau at Aïn-Sba in the Fatah mountains south of Boghar. Some of the fossils were covered in a greenish or chocolate patina. He gave a s ...

Mining Engineers
Mining in the engineering discipline is the extraction of minerals from underneath, open pit, above or on the ground. Mining engineering is associated with many other disciplines, such as mineral processing, exploration, excavation, geology, and metallurgy, geotechnical engineering and surveying. A mining engineer may manage any phase of mining operations, from exploration and discovery of the mineral resources, through feasibility study, mine design, development of plans, production and operations to mine closure. With the process of Mineral extraction, some amount of waste and uneconomic material are generated which are the primary source of pollution in the vicinity of mines. Mining activities by their nature cause a disturbance of the natural environment in and around which the minerals are located. Mining engineers must therefore be concerned not only with the production and processing of mineral commodities, but also with the mitigation of damage to the environment both dur ...
