Effects of potash mining on river ecosystems: An experimental study
Environmental Pollution, 2017 In spite of being a widespread activity causing the salinization of rivers worldwide, the impact of potash mining on river ecosystems is poorly understood. Here we used a mesocosm approach to test the effects of a salt effluent coming from a potash mine on algal and aquatic invertebrate communities at different concentrations and release modes (i.e ...

Statistical and clustering analysis of microseismicity from a Saskatchewan potash mine
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2023 Microseismicity is expected in potash mining due to the associated rock-mass response. This phenomenon is known, but not fully understood. To assess the safety and efficiency of mining operations, producers must quantitatively discern between normal and ...
