Description :
The geomorphic model, SIBERIA, is calibrated on hydrologic and erosion data collected by a combination of monitoring and rainfall simulation experiments on the waste rock dumps of Ranger. This model is used to predict the evolution of the proposed engineered landforms over 1000 years. Implications for the stability of the below- and above-grade options are discussed.
