Abstract Global energy demand has surged, especially on coal commodities. To accommodate the demand, open-pit mining became a faster and cheaper solution, but left land-use change degradation. This research tried to examine impact of urban heat island (UHI) in Bontang city. The study used multitemporal Landsat images (2002 2019) assess land surface temperature. Then, UHI non area were calculate...

Unmanned Aerial Systems, or drones, are very helpful tools for managing open-pit mining operations and developing ecological restoration activities. This article presents a method identifying water erosion processes in active quarries by means of drone imagery remote sensing, the absence pre-existing mapping comparison. A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with spatial resolution (SR) >10 cm an o...

Modern development of coal mining industry in Kuzbass is carried out using advanced techniques. Analysis its geological and technological conditions performed with respect to the technologies related methods, developing combined (open-pit underground) geotechnologies for complex deposits.
