Klappentext

Introduction to monitoring the environmental impacts of mining activities, such as mine subsidence monitoring, slope stability monitoring, reclamation planning and implementation, and post closure mine monitoring. Each chapter is rather self-containing and discusses in detail the necessary principles and techniques. Illustrated by case studies demonstrating how to apply different remote sensing data and techniques for different mine monitoring purposes.

Zusammenfassung
