{"product_id":"9783639055337","title":"Geographical Information Systems and Mining Impacts","description":"The ability to assess the potential mine subsidence impact undoubtedly can be valuable for subsidence management plans and any decision-making pro­cess carried out prior to mining.\u003cbr\u003eThe book describes a quantitative spatial methodology for the mapping of potential mine subsidence impacts on cliff-lines using a Geographical Infor­mation System (GIS). The approach is developed using a GIS-based weight-of-evidence methodology with the following characteristics:\u003cbr\u003e1) A data driven technique for impact assessment during the preliminary sta­ges of mine design when the field data is limited;\u003cbr\u003e2) Identification of pertinent controlling factors in rockfall occurrence pheno­mena;\u003cbr\u003e3) The analysis of the level of influence for each controlling factor, weighting and combining evidential factors using the weight-of-evidence method;\u003cbr\u003e4) The mapping of the probability of a rockfall occurrence within the area of interest.\u003cbr\u003eApplication of the methodology was tested for a case study in Australia where the methodology was used to evaluate and compare impact of two different proposed mine layouts on the present cliff lines within the mining area.","brand":"VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041041957104,"sku":"9783639055337","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783639055337_p0.jpg?v=1763728391","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783639055337","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
