MASW Imaging of an Abandoned Minnesota Mine
Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems 2006, 2006Several sinkholes have occurred on the site of a large, public historical center structure in northern Minnesota and ground subsidence has caused structural damage to some of the center's buildings. The structure was built over mine dump material, underlain by glacial drift and a Cretaceous iron formation.

Shallow Seismic Investigations of an Abandoned Mine
Proceedings, 2012The near-surface rock structure that covers an abandoned marl mine nearby the village of Montevecchia (Italy) was investigated through a combination of seismic surveys performed in two different survey campaigns. The methods selected for these investigations were Refraction Seismics and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW).

Geophysical Characterization Of An Abandoned Gold Mine
16th EEGS Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems, 2003The North State Goldmine in High Point, North Carolina was active from the early 1800’s to around the turn-of-the-century. It is now part of a residential area that is under development. The primary purpose of the geophysical surveys conducted on the site was to identify voids and other features that may present geotechnical hazards during development.

Legacy Issues and Abandoned Mines
2017The chapter summarises the principal problems associated with current approaches to closure planning. Then it discusses the critical relationship between effective mitigation and management of mining legacies and abandoned mines. In the third section, I review global and Australian initiatives on mining legacies.

With the promulgation of Bill 71 in June 1991, the closure of mines in the province of Ontario must meet stricter environmental conditions. The legacy of open shafts and derelict sites should be brought to an end. A new Abandoned Mines Abatement Program was also introduced in 1991 to deal with clean-up of abandoned sites that have reverted to the Crown

Mine fires occur on abandoned mine lands throughout the U. S. coal fields. They threaten the health and safety of the local populations and consume a non-renewable natural resource. In general, mine fires are the most costly abandoned mine lands problem to mitigate. In active mines, fires are quickly extinguished by the mining company as they present a

Abandonment of Mine Tailings Ponds
Canadian Water Resources Journal, 1986In response to growing concern about the long-term environmental impact of abandoned mines and their tailing ponds, regulating authorities are beginning to request that abandonment plans be submitted with license applications. This paper suggests criteria that such plans should meet and emphasizes the need to ensure that adequate funding will be ...

I thank Domenico Senato and his fellow organizers for the kind invitation to participate in this gathering of friends of Gian-Carlo Rota — to grieve with you his passing and to search with you for a renewal of the work he laid out for us. Mimmo and Elvira have asked me to speak about Gian-Carlo’s mathematical work — and I do so in keen recollection of ...
