Surface mining activities, exploitation of ore and stripping and dumping overburden, cause changes on the land cover and land use of the mine area. Sustainable mining requires continuous monitoring of these changes to identify the long-term impacts of mining on environment and land cover to provide essential safety measures. In this sense, digital image classification provides a powerful tool to obtain a rigorous data and hence diminishes the essence of time-consuming and costly field measurements. There are various image classification techniques, serving different features for different purposes, and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification method based on statistical machine learning theory stands out to be an effective and accurate image classification technique among them.

Indicator-based sustainability assessment for the mining sector plans: Case of Afsin-Elbistan Coal Basin Yaylaci, Evren Deniz; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem (Elsevier BV, 2016-08-01) Environmental, social and economic impacts of the mining sector are evaluated separately or holistically with different tools at the project- and strategic-level in order to achieve effective resource management and to prevent unsound mining operations. As coal is one of the extensively utilized primary energy sources in the world, the coal mining and its negative impacts are criticized frequently in terms of sustainability criteria. Therefore, integrating the sustainability criteria at the strategic level ...
Development of a GIS-based monitoring and management system for underground coal mining safety Şalap, Seda; KARSLIOĞLU, MAHMUT ONUR; Demirel, Nuray (Elsevier BV, 2009-11-01) Coal mine safety is of paramount concern to mining industry. Mine accidents have various causes and consequences including catastrophic failure of mine, substantial economic losses and most notably loss of lives. Therefore, any initiative in mine monitoring is of vital importance for progressing safety surveillance and maintenance.
Landuse Change Detection in a Surface Coal Mine Area Using Multi Temporal High Resolution Satellite Images Demirel, Nuray; EMİL, MUSTAFA KEMAL (2010-05-26) Surface mining activities, exploitation of ore and stripping and dumping overburden, cause changes on the land cover and landuse of the mine area. The areal extend of the land disturbance could substantially be large for surface coal mining due to the nature of the coal extraction process. Sustainable mining requires continuous monitoring of the land cover and landuse change induced by the mining activities. This is essentially important for identifying the long-term impacts of mining on environment and lan...
Modeling of ECBM recovery from Amasra coalbed in Zonguldak Basin, Turkey Sınayuç, Çağlar (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-07) Zonguldak coal basin is the only productive hard coal basin of Turkey. The eastern part of the basin is called as Bartin-Amasra District, which has deeper coal seams. The depth and difficulty of mining these coal seams make this district an important candidate for coalbed methane (CBM) recovery. However, there is not enough reservoir data for modeling purposes. In this study, the lithologic information collected for coal mining industry was used to determine the correlations and the continuity of the coal s...
Landuse change detection in a surface coal mine area using multi-temporal high-resolution satellite images Demirel, Nuray; Emil, Mustafa Kemal (2011-01-01) Surface mining activities, exploitation of ore, and stripping and dumping of the overburden cause changes in the land cover and land use of a mine area. The area of land disturbance can be very large in the case of surface coal mining, due to the nature of the coal extraction process. Sustainable mining requires continuous monitoring of changes in land cover and land use induced by the mining activities. This is essentially important for identifying the long-term impacts of mining on the environment and on ...
