Technologies and Features of Surface Mining of Coal Deposits on the Island of Kalimantan in Indonesia Based on Satellite Imaging Data

Abstract

the paper presents the results of studying surface coal mining operations on the Island of Kalimantan in Indonesia. remote sensing studies revealed the number of mining and haulage machines working in the coal pits. the annual volume of stripping operations and coal production were determined based on the results of analytical calculations. the results of satellite observations helped to identify a trend of slightly decreasing coal production.
