Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9126-9143, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Evaluating Erosional Stability of Reconstructed Mine Landscapes Using Landform Evolution Models: Parameterisation and Decadal‐Scale Erosion Assessment

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9308-9322, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Ensuring the long‐term erosional stability of post‐mining landforms remains a major challenge in open‐pit mining. Reconstructed landscapes must support the agreed post‐mining land use, such as cattle grazing in the Hunter region of southeastern Australia, requiring stable pasture and minimal soil loss.

Study on the mechanism of thermal damage in deep tunnels exacerbated by high-temperature fissure water

Journal of Industrial Safety
The heat hazards in deep mines are particularly prominent in the presence of high-temperature fissure water. This paper establishes a numerical simulation model of the temperature field in a mining tunnel based on the heat transfer theory.

Assessing Fire‐Induced Permafrost Ground Deformation and Environmental Drivers Using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar and Machine Learning

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Arctic fires in permafrost landscapes have become more frequent in recent years with record fire years in Eastern Siberia in 2019, 2020 and 2021. The consumption of organic layer and charring of the landscape can deepen active layer and long‐term permafrost ground deformation.

Cultural geography of heat: Artistic experiments with heat’s animacies

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
A sustained, cultural geographical engagement with heat is long overdue. I advance this agenda by engaging with the work of contemporary artists. Artists are responding to uneven conditions of global heating by exploring heat’s animacies: how heat interweaves with the practices and textures of life.

Analysis of Blasting Fragmentation Characteristics in Open-Pit Coal Mine

Meikuang Anquan, 2020
The distribution of blasting fragmentation in open pit coal mines is an important factor influencing the efficiency of resource mining. To clarify the distribution characteristics of coal rock mass under blasting, we use a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) test system to perform specimen failure test under impact load, and use direct sieving method ...
