Course content
Satellite imagery is an important component of mineral exploration projects. They simplify and accelerate geological exploration in hard-to-reach regions, provide geologists and field crews with information to map potential access routes to explored areas and assess possible environmental impacts. Satellite imagery is the basis for mapping and remote monitoring of subsoil use. Remote sensing provides a wide range of information, in particular, multispectral satellite imagery is used for reclamation of mining areas, as it allows monitoring the state of vegetation reflecting acid drainage from iron ore and coal mines. Spectral imagery and thematic mapping provide researchers with information on the reflective and absorptive properties of soils, rock composition and vegetation. The analysis of radar images is used to monitor the stability of slopes and monthly changes in those parts of the landscape where active mining is taking place. Such actions ensure the safety of employees by identifying potential problems in a timely manner and informing the mine management to take measures to prevent accidents, etc.
