  Article:   THE ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING IN MINING AREAS BETWEEN DIRECT INVESTIGATIONS AND REMOTE SENSING – THE IMPACTMIN PROJECT.

Authors:  CRISTIAN-IOAN POP.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  The scientific challenge of the ImpactMin project is to use cutting-edge remote sensing technologies to develop cost-effective, reliable and repeatable approaches for monitoring the impact of mining activities on the environment through time. This monitoring method will be used to identifying, predicting and preventing potentially serious consequences for the natural and human environment. The project will combine the satellite/aerial remote sensing technology with ground investigations. The proposed methods following will be validated on four demonstrative places in Sweden, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Romania and Rusia. The targets of interest on the surface include various organic compounds, large gaseous or aerosol emissions, acid-drainage or heavy-metal carrying sludge, while the water elements include phytoplankton, non-algal particles, hydrocarbon occurrences and chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) as well bottom substrate type and water depth.

Keywords: mining areas, environmental monitoring, remote sensing, hyperspectral measurements
