took place in the region due to open cast coal mining. Therefore, an investigation on the changes of Land-use/Land-cover (LULC) in the area, especially due to open cast mining has been made for a period of 20 years (1996 – 2016) by using remote sensing and GIS techniques. Twelve LULC classes were identified in the region. Significant

Assessing impacts of mining: Recent contributions from GIS ...
While there is still much work to be done to trace the spatially explicit impacts of mining on land cover, not least as the mining frontier extends deeper into the world’s remaining primary forests (Bebbington et al., 2018), it is also the case that GIS/RS based analysis of mining impacts has paid large attention to deforestation. This reflects the relative ease of detectability of land use change in remotely sensed …
Impact of Coal Mining on Vegetation: A Case Study in ...
The unscientific mining of minerals poses a serious threat to the environment, resulting in the reduction of forest cover, erosion of soil in a greater scale, pollution of air, water and land and reduction in biodiversity (UNESCO, 1985). The problems of waste rock damps become devastating to the landscape around mining areas (Goretti, 1998).
Analyses of environmental impacts of underground coal ...
Nov 12, 2011 · The influences of coal mining in an arid environment on vegetation coverage, land-use change, desertification, soil and water loss were discussed. A series of available TM/ETM+ images with no cloud cover from July/August in different years (1990, 1995, 2000 and 2005) were used to analyze the change in various land environmental factors over time.
Impacts of Coal mining: a Review of Methods and Parameters ...
Mining and its related industries are disastrous and unfavourable to the land use pattern, 55 especially surface mining has a profound impact on the pattern land use during both the pre and post mining operations. Since 2010 studies on land use and land cover changes dominated the research on coal mining.
Using Remote Sensing to Assess Impact of Mining Activities ...
Abstract. Environmental impact assessment is now an integral part of mining operations. Remote sensing data enables the identification, delineating, and monitoring of pollution sources and affected areas, including derelict land, and changes in surface land use and to water bodies. The aim of this work was to evaluate the use of multi-temporal Landsat-5 and Landsat-7 images, SPOT …

Mapping the yearly extent of surface coal mining in ...
Surface mining for coal has taken place in the Central Appalachian region of the United States for well over a century, with a notable increase since the 1970s. Researchers have quantified the ecosystem and health impacts stemming from mining, relying in part on a geospatial dataset defining surface mining’s extent at a decadal interval. This dataset, however, does not deliver the temporal ...
Health and environmental impact of the coal industry ...
Surface mining of coal causes direct and indirect damage to wildlife. The impact on wildlife stems primarily from disturbing, removing and redistributing the land surface. Some impacts are short-term and confined to the mine site however others have far-reaching, long-term effects.

CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): Abstract: The rate and intensity of land use/land cover (LU/LC) change has increased considerably during the past couple of decades. Mining brings significant alterations in LU/LC specifically due to its impact on forests. Parts of Central India are well endowed with both forests and minerals.
Deep Impact: Effects of Mountaintop Mining on Surface ...
Land use impacts are commonly quantified and compared using 2D maps, limiting the scale of their reported impacts to surface area estimates. Yet, nearly all land use involves disturbances below the land surface. Incorporating this third dimension into our estimates of land use impact is especially important when examining the impacts of mining.
