The principles of complexed multi-scale geodynamic monitoring of natural and technogenic processes

Abstract

The principles of complexed geodynamic monitoring on the basis of long-term experience and research results of natural and man-made processes in the uranium deposits of the Streltsovsky ore province are proposed. The principles are to use simultaneously regular satellite, geodetical, seismical, geophysical, geological, and a number of other observations aimed at studying the upper part of the earth's crust. In the world’s mining practice, such large-scale integrated studies, where within the boundaries of one territory (a group of deposits or ore provinces) a similar set of observations aimed at monitoring geodynamic processes in the upper part of the earth's crust has not been found. The development of monitoring methods at the “Geodynamic polygon of the Streltsovsky ore field” and the additional placement of new multi-level monitoring systems will provide more information about the state of the rock mass in the upper part of the earth's crust, increase the reliability in prediction of dangerous geodynamic manifestations, identify their precursors and reduce the risk of man-made disasters. It is planned to create a common centre for processing and analysis of multiparameter data on geodynamic processes in the depth of the rock mass and local geomechanical processes near underground mine workings.
