A guide for students and professionals, Remote Sensing of the Mine Environment covers the basic principles of remote sensing and its applications in mine environment monitoring. Building from a reader’s basic knowledge of mine monitoring, the text discusses how to implement remote sensing techniques and how to interpret the acquired data for different purposes.
Following a general introduction to remote sensing principles and image analysis, the book covers mine subsidence monitoring, slope stability monitoring, reclamation planning and implementation, and post-closure mine and land use analysis. The techniques and tools presented are demonstrated in case studies.
This text is intended for the education of university students in mining, civil, geological, and environmental engineering. Researchers and professionals in these disciplines will find it beneficial in professional monitoring investigations. |
