Monitoring the mining effect at drainage basin level using geoinformation technologies

Abstract

Abstract:One of the priority lines of modern regional policy with regard to mining is a territory's sustainable use. One of the key issues is the development of local level monitoring systems to assess and control territories that are subject to intensive anthropogenic activity. The current work proposes a developed geodatabase model for remote sensing and ground-based monitoring of the effects of coal mining at drainage level using geoinformation technologies. Based on this model, the Kutina geographic information system for the drainage basin of the Kutina River has been constructed.The geodatabase is open and may be updated and supplemented with other types of information. This is the first monitoring of coal mining's anthropogenic impact on the land cover and the Kutina Pyramids natural landmark carried out on the territory of the Kutina River drainage basin, Bulgaria. It may assist local level managerial decision-making, among others. Generation of landslide processes and self-ignition of coal layers has been identified as well. The recorded change in the hydrographic network resulting from the performed open coal extraction affects directly the change of the erosion basis. Its increase enhances lateral erosion at the expense of vertical, which is one of the major causes for the Kutina Pyramids natural landmark's degradation.

Mathematical aspects of the kriging applied on landslide in Halenkovice (Czech Republic)

“…Conditions making a region susceptible to landmass movements encompass factors such as soil characteristics, topography, precipitation, vegetation, and others [3]. Various statistical, analytical and numerical approaches have been introduced for modelling of landslides.…”

Modern Development of Geoinformatics

“…Причем он смещен в сторону графической информации, что дает основание считать геоинформационные технологии близкими к технологиям визуальной обработки данных. В настоящее время геоинформационные технологии используют для поддержки принятия решений [9] при мониторинге [10], при геомоделировании [11] и при изучении окружающей среды [12]. При этом всегда используют базы данных для хранений пространственной информации и пространственные информационные модели [13].…”

“…Мониторинг. Современный геоинформационный мониторинг является интегрированной технологией, которая объединяет разные технологии: наблюдения, обработки и анализа [10]. Современный геоинформационный мониторинг [16] включает в общем случае четыре основные функции: наблюдение; анализ, прогнозирование, управление.…”

A GIS Methodology for Assessing the Safety Hazards of Abandoned Mine Lands (AMLs)

“…A number of studies have been devoted to the application of GIS in the coal mining industry. These range from analyzing environmental impacts (Clark, Hoffmann, & Thomas, 1996;Hao & Yoginder, 1993;Naydenova & Roumenina, 2009;Reese & Keith, 2006;Sudibjo & Soeria, 1996;Yasser, Ryberg, Bernecky, & Hnat, 2003…”
