A Remote Sensing Approach to Environmental Monitoring in a Reclaimed Mine Area
Mining for resources extraction may lead to geological and associated environmental changes due to ground movements, collision with mining cavities, and deformation of aquifers. Geological changes may continue in a reclaimed mine area, and the deformed aquifers may entail a breakdown of substrates and an increase in ground water tables, which may cause surface area inundation. Consequently, a r...
متن کاملA remote sensing approach to subsidence and vegetation degradation in a reclaimed mine area
Mining for resources extraction may lead to several geological and associated environmental changes due to ground movements, collision with mining cavities and deformation of aquifers. Geological changes may continue in a reclaimed mine area, and the deformed aquifers may entail a breakdown of substrates and an increase in ground water tables, which may cause surface area inundation. Consequent...
متن کاملEnvironmental Monitoring and Assessment Remote Sensing Approach
Environmental monitoring and assessment includes a wide spectrum of study that overlaps many disciplines, all of which are independent. This paper illustrates several broad subjects related to environmental constraints including water pollution, effects of atmospheric contamination, strip mining, and natural disasters. Remote sensing can provide complementary information to existing ground-base...
متن کاملUsing Remote Sensing to Map Vegetation Density on a Reclaimed Surface Mine
The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, in a cooperative agreement with the Office of Surface Mining’s Charleston Field Office, is evaluating the utility of high resolution satellite images for characterizing vegetation patterns on reclaimed surface mines. This paper details the results of the first phase of this project, which sought to determine whether satellite images coul...
متن کاملRemote Sensing and Environmental Monitoring
Remotely sensed data have two significant characteristics. Firstly, they are available in digital form, which allows them to be manipulated by computer. Secondly, they provide a range of information derived from observations made using electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with wavelengths ranging from those of the visible wavebands (0.4–0.7 μm) to the microwave region (3–30 cm). Modulation of incomi...
