Remote Sensing of the Mine Environment

This book discussed on the basic principles of remote sensing and its applications in mine environment monitoring.

Building from a readers basic knowledge of mine monitoring, it teaches how to implement remote sensing techniques and how to interpret the acquired data for different purposes.

Following a general introduction to remote sensing principles and image analysis, mine subsidence monitoring, slope stability monitoring, reclamation planning and implementation, and post-closure mine and land use analysis are explained and illustrated.

With the help of case studies, the techniques and tools presented are demonstrated.
