Mining in New Caledonia: environmental stakes and restoration opportunities

Journal Articles & Books
Diciembre, 2015
Nueva Caledonia

New Caledonia is a widely recognised marine and terrestrial biodiversity hot spot. However, this unique environment is under increasing anthropogenic pressure. Major threats are related to land cover change and include fire, urban sprawling and mining. Resulting habitat loss and fragmentation end up in serious erosion of the local biodiversity. Mining is of particular concern due to its economic significance for the island. Open cast mines were exploited there since 1873, and scraping out soil to access ores wipes out flora.

Comparison of NAIP orthophotography and RapidEye satellite imagery for mapping of mining and mine reclamation

Estados Unidos de América

National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) orthophotography is a potentially useful data source for land cover classification in the United States due to its nationwide and generally cloud-free coverage, low cost to the public, frequent update interval, and high spatial resolution. Nevertheless, there are challenges when working with NAIP imagery, especially regarding varying viewing geometry, radiometric normalization, and calibration.

Journal Articles & Books
Diciembre, 2015

Using an overall document data comprehensive analysis system and a structure analysis, this study preliminarily classified technical indicators, structured the regulatory index database on construction of land reclamation, and explicated the information operation process and main content of land reclamation. From the perspective of module design, this article describes the most significant details about information query and release process, engineering construction quality monitoring and control, the land reclamation engineering acceptance process, and post‐project evaluation.

República Checa

This article aims to explain and demonstrate the origin and development of a subsidence basin caused by coal mining as well as to point out important aspects of this phenomenon in engineering geology. Engineering geology needs to deal with a number of issues related to the origin and development of subsidence basins in areas affected by deep coal mining. An interesting case study from the Upper-Silesian Basin in the northeast of the Czech Republic near the Polish border is presented in this paper.

Nos últimos anos, a economia moçambicana tem registado desenvolvimentos significativos na área dos recursos minerais e energéticos. Em 2004, iniciou-se a produção e expor tação de gás natural em Pande e Temane, na província de Inhambane. Em 2007 arrancou em Moma, na província de Nampula, a expor tação de minérios produzidos a par tir de areias pesadas. Em 2007, o Governo assinou com a brasileira Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD) um contrato mineiro para a exploração de grandes quantidades de carvão de Moatize, na província de Tete.

Uma onda de investimento estrangeiro ligada aos recursos naturais em Moçambique, incluindo grandes reservas de carvão e gás natural offshore, promete novas possibilidades económicas para o país que durante muito tempo foi classificado como um dos mais pobres do mundo. As empresas multinacionais de mineração e de gás têm investido biliões de dólares em Moçambique nos últimos dez anos e o governo estima que vai atrair ainda cinquenta biliões de dólares de investimento adicional na próxima década.
