Morfologie van een mijnstad The morphology of a mine town
The now disappeared mine-industry has had a great influence on the spatial form of the Dutch mine area and its regional centre Heerlen. One of the most imperative tasks for planners in the formely mine town is to avoid further crumbling

The GDR was the world biggest lignite producing country, but attendant symptoms were uneconomic management and environmental destruction. The development in two eastern mining areas is characterised by a dramatic decrease of lignite benefication
from 300 Mt in 1989 to 64 Mt in 1998. The former mining areas were introduced a recultivation programme, financed by the federal government and the Länder. Until 1999 more than 10 milliard DM had been expended for the land restoration ; new post-mining
landscapes with lakes, recreational facilities, forests and agricultural areas are developing. - (HPB)

Sustained storage and transport of hydraulic gold mining sediment in the Bear River, California

This study examines the large deposits of hydraulic gold mining sediment and reevaluates Gilbert's (1917) classic model of sediment transport in a symmetrical wave that is based on hydraulic mining sediment primarily in the Yuba Basin. Sustained
storage and transport of hydraulic mining sediment in the Bear Basin are documented and a revised model of sediment transport is proposed.

Bedrock temperatures were measured over a 12-month period (June 2003-July 2004) at 6 sites within the Gruve-7 coal mine in the Adventdalen valley, near Longyearbyen. Temperatures are highest in areas lying beneath the Foxfonna glacier and lowest
in areas lying beneath the ice-free, periglacial upland. Episodic seepage of glacial meltwater into the mine is indicated by the presence of ice within joints and fractures in the exposed bedrock of the walls and ceilings of the mine corridor. Air
ventilation seems to be affecting bedrock temperatures in the outermost, ice-free parts of the Gruve-7 mine.

The development of the anthropogenic relief from the coal mining industry in the Wałbrzych Basin on the ground of the management of waste materials from coal mining in 1975-1996

The development of the anthropogenic relief from the coal mining industry in the Wałbrzych Basin on the ground of the management of waste materials from coal mining in 1975-1996
Influence of hard-coal mining as regards changes in the relief of Wałbrzych Basin in the years 1975-1996. The management of waste materials from coal mining has caused an increase in the area of mining spoil heaps of about 783 ha, as well as about
a c. 29,8 million m3 increase in volume. Settlement covers about 35 km2 of the Wałbrzych Basin, the area under mine dumps and settlers is actually greater than that of natural forms. - (BJ)

Restoring nature in mining areas of the Silesian Upland (Poland)

Restoring nature in mining areas of the Silesian Upland (Poland)
Environmental degradation ; Human impact ; Mining activity ; Nature conservation ; Poland ; Rehabilitation ; Silesia
Mining influences every component of the environment in significant and diverse ways. But even in such a devastated terrain there is evidence of the proper management of post-mining areas and natural self restoration, which paradoxically, owing
to mining, appear in the most intensively used economic areas. Investigations included the study of aerial photos, and of archival and contemporary maps at a scale of 1:10 000 from different time periods. Field observations consisted of observing the effects

Challenges for sustainable water use in dolomitic mining regions of South Africa. A case study of uranium pollution, Part I : sources and pathways

Challenges for sustainable water use in dolomitic mining regions of South Africa. A case study of uranium pollution, Part I : sources and pathways
Carbonate rock ; Groundwater ; Hydrogeology ; Mining activity ; Pollution ; Semi-arid area ; South Africa ; Uranium ; Water pollution ; Water resources
Point- and non-point sources of U associated with mining activities in the Wonderfonteinspruit catchment, as an example of a dolomitic gold-mining area, as well as pathways of U pollution are discussed. Associated U loads emanating from major
sources are estimated. The results suggest that detected levels of U pollution in the catchment are not only caused by century old mining activities but also by current operations and that U pollution of water is likely to continue well beyond the closure
of mines.

The purpose of the study is to analyse the changes resulting from the mining of brown coal. The study examines the natural potential of the sample areas before the extraction of the brown coal and after the recultivation, and it evaluates
the natural resources in terms of their suitability for agricultural, forestry, and outdoor recreational uses. The results of this evaluation are combined to serve as a basis for classifying the study areas and delineating units of different degrees
of suitability for the various forms of land use before the mining and after the recultivation. The following comparison of the original land potential before coal mining with the final land potential after recultivation permits to determine improvements

Acid mine drainage containing toxic contaminants is a major cause of landscape degradation at numerous historic mine sites in Europe. Risk assessment of acid mine drainage and related polluted lands requires an approach that is able to study
the complexity of pollution emissions and impacted landscapes. The objective of this paper is to link geochemical contaminant fate modelling and landscape analysis for the risk assessment of acid mine drainage along the source-pathway-receptor chain. A simple

The study area covers the catchment of the transboundary river Geul in Belgium and the Netherlands. The fluvial dispersal of mining wastes has caused enhanced concentrations of lead, zinc and cadmium in aquatic sediments and flooplain soils in both
countries. The objective of this study is to investigate quantitatively the dispersal of metal mining wastes in this catchment. - (AGD)
