Project Objectives
ImpactMin will develop new methods and a corresponding toolset for the environmental impact monitoring of mining operations using Earth Observations (EO). The proposed methods will be validated at four demonstration sites in Sweden (Kristineberg), Bosnia & Herzegovina (Vihovici Mostar), Romania (Rosia Montana) and Russia (Orenburg).
Methodology
WP2: user requirements WP3: socio-economic research WP4: assessment of usability of satellite remote sensing WP5: requirements, challenges, limitations of airborne hyperspectral and gamma-ray missions (incl. UAS) WP6: new tools and services (in line with existing standards) WP7: demo site implementation of WP6 concepts and tools WP8: dissemination (incl. commercial exploitation)
(Expected) Results
Toolset for environmental impact monitoring of mining operations.
VITO Contribution
Lead Satellite Remote Sensing (WP4) One of the main authors of the airborne EO data report (WP5)Methods development of aerial and satellite image processing (WP6) based on implementation and testing at the Rosia Montana demo site, Vihovici Mostar demo site and Orenburg region demo site.
