Longwall mining is a method of carving "hallways" into underground coal seams and then mining long corridors of coal adjacent to the hallway. As the coal is mined and carried away via conveyer belt to the surface, the ceiling above the mined coal collapses. This can cause subsidence on the surface. Erin Pfeil-McCullough, a graduate …Web

The objective of this study is to analyse the relative impact of small-scale gold mining on forest cover in the Suriname portion of the Amazon rainforest. Our principal questions are: (1) how much old-growth forest do small-scale gold miners remove, and (2) what is the pace and quality of forest regeneration on abandoned mining sites over time ...Web

Expanding mining concessions also threaten the DRC's forest, even though nearly 12% of it is under some form of protection. In this study, we used spatially-explicit data on conflict, mining, and protected areas, along with a host of control variables, to estimate the impacts of these factors on forest cover loss from 1990 to 2010.Web
