PhD topic: Environmental Impact Assessment of Mining

Summary: In recent years, the rapid advancement of remote sensing technologies has significantly improved geographical research by enabling efficient and low-cost monitoring of large areas. Field measurements are often limited by harsh weather, difficult terrain, and high expenses, whereas remote sensing offers a practical alternative for detecting long-term environmental changes. 

This study investigates land cover changes in mining regions over the past 30 years using remote sensing data. The research analyzes how mining activities have altered the landscape and examines their impacts on surrounding environmental components, including soil and water. By assessing multi-temporal satellite imagery, the study identifies the extent and intensity of mining-induced degradation. Understanding these changes is crucial for evaluating the broader environmental consequences of mining. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights into environmental change dynamics and support the development of effective strategies for sustainable land management and mitigation of mining impacts.
