The study is conceived to find a balanced approach to the reclamation processes of the spoil heaps in the former coal miningarea of Pécs and of a slurry reservoir. The authors emphasize the relationship between the quality of surface waters
Stream response to surface coal mining and reclamation was studied in 29 small watersheds located in the bituminous coal fields of Central Pennsylvania. Observed differences in channel morphology were related to differences in extent of mining
by means of scatter plots, correlation, cluster analysis and bivariate regression. For streams that have exceeded threshold levels, disequilibrium is demonstrated by a strong, positive correlation between local stream slope and basin area.

The costs of development are often discussed superficially but seldom evaluated systematically. This book is a valuable case study which looks at one aspect of the problem in relation to the Bougainville copper mine, largest economic enterprise

analyse théorique générale de la dynamique des formes. L'idée de système spatial implique celle d'une autonomie relative de l'espace, porteuse d'inertie géographique. C'est pourquoi l'A. étudie la problème de l'héritage spatial de la mine et les stratégies
Analysis of percussion drillings and a long excavated section provide new information on the Late Quaternary to Late Holocene floodplain evolution from the most important Central European iron-mining region of the 15th century. The generalized

Paleoweathered zones in 4 underground drill holes in Quirke II mine and one drill hole by Denison Mines in Elliot Lake area, Ontario, Canada were studied for petrography, mineralogy, and whole rock chemistry. The differences between the sub-Huronian

Mono-industrialism and the struggle for alternative development : the case of the Roşia Montană gold-mining project
This article analyses mono-industrialism and the struggle for alternative development through the case of the Roşia Montană gold-mining project in Romania. It examines the socio-economic consequences of the mining project proposed
by the multinational company and reveals the intrinsic limits of mono-industrialism and on the issue of population displacement by development. In the second part of the paper it discusses the feasibility of alternative development solutions for the area.
Geomorphic consequences of urban development and mining activities; an analysis of study areas in Spain and Argentina

The analysis has been carried out in 4 study areas : a basin in northern Spain and 3 municipalities in central Argentina. The AA. consider direct effects of excavation, transport and accumulation of materials as well as unintended effects related
In this study, microbial biomass, basic respiration, microbial diversity and enzyme activities were investigated during the natural successional process in 2 copper mine wastelands in the Tongling Copper Minearea, Anhui Province, with different
of heavy metals decreased. It is highlighted that the natural successional series consisted of species adapted to mine wastelands, and that soil microbial biomass and enzyme activities tended to be more sensitive to heavy metals.
The aim of this study was to elucidate the influence of the mine wastes in the district of Linares (Jaén, Spain) on the quality of the soil, the surface water and the groundwater. For this purpose, a sedimentary endorheic basin in the mining
district was selected as the study location : the Quaternary Garza basin. The characterisation of the basin geometry and the tailings dams in the area was conducted by electrical resistivity imaging (ERI), which was supported with data provided

New Caledonia is a reef-fringed mountainous island, with extensive deeply-weathered ultrabasic rock formations which have concentrations of nickel and chromium ores, notably near the base of the weathered mantle. Opencast hilltop mining, initiated
and sediment loads have been drastically modified, and sedimentation has accelerated in many estuaries and deltaic areas, as well as locally in coastal waters off river mouths. The pattern of impact is traced in each of the river catchments, and at and around
each of the river mouths. Reference is made to recent attempts to reduce the dispersal of mining waste, and to manage the mining lanscape in a way that is less destructive to surface stability, soils and vegetation. (E.C.F. BIRD).

For making the geotechnical map of the Mons area, research has been based on archives : old drawings, plans and military maps, mine-working, maps of water-ways and rivers, aerial photographs, etc... Examining these documents has enabled several maps
to be drawn that show the cut-and-fill areas, the place where old quarries and mines were situated, tunnels and underground channels, levelled ash heaps, mine settlements, the base and levelling courses of fortifications. Several examples are given. - (Author).
The A. documents landscape change around Lake Tahoe straddling the Nevada-California border by rephotographing scenes taken at an earlier time. Once the site of extensive logging operations, mining and fishing, Lake Tahoe is now primarily a tourist
area where people see landscape in real estate terms.―(DWG)
