Deep hard coal mining manifests itself in the landscape in a specific way: primarily through anthropogenic landforms and secondarily through land cover changes not directly related to mining activity. This article focuses on the identification
of primary and secondary displays of deep hard coal mining in aerial photos as well as the interpretation of elementary landscape processes that are conditioned by mining. - (EN)
This paper discusses some of the issues involved in planning mine rehabilitation, in particular the need to assess the future state of the rehabilitated mine site, and presents a geomorphologic perspective on this issue. A number of examples
are drawn from the rehabilitation of uranium mines in the Alligator Rivers Region of the Northern Territory and elsewhere in Australia, and methods of assessing the rehabilitation of uranium mines are described for the Alligator Rivers Region.
Tectonic phenomena in a various manner have an influence on mining processes. Among other things, they determine the position of the mining regions and mine fields. In the potash and mineral salt mining, in the choice and construction of the mining
method and the manner of the dead and the development work, in the influence of the tectonics must be taken into the consideration. For the estimation of the mining safety also the knowledge about the fracture tectonics developed in the planned mining

Les AA. expliquent comment la présence et les activités des groupes armés anti-gouvernementaux posent des problèmes pour le paradigme du développement axé sur l'exploitation minière. Genèse des attaques armées contre les mines : actes d'extorsion
sur des compagnies minières, griefs contre la mine dégénérant en conflit, militarisation des lieux situés près des mines. La mine ne réduirait pas la pauvreté et l'exclusion sociale, et elle tendrait à les exacerber. Urgence de la mise en oeuvre de
This article examines the deterritorializion of extraction through the example of bioaccumulation and the planetary mine. It begins by reflecting on the effects of recycling on the spatiality and materiality of the mine and then it proceeds
to examine the productive role of microorganisms in mining, the limits of biomining, and the biotechnologies that have developed to transcend those limits. The conclusion draws out theoretical implications of those ongoing lines of deterritorialization

In the G. D. R. the share of open-cast mining production in the total mining production is 93 per cent. From this, about 60 percent account for brown-coal production. The article deals with problems of areal requirements, growing volumes of rubbish
, ground-water lowering, and the management of post-mining landscapes. - (IH)
