Dynamic geo‐hydrogeological monitoring‐driven situational awareness for real‐time floor water inrush risk prediction in deep mining

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The fused data extracted from the distributed monitoring system as the data basis, combined with dynamic geological data, are imported into a deep learning model. As the geological conditions of mining and excavation change, the risk of water inrush at the working face is retrieved in real time.

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

Mapping macrophytic vegetation in shallow lakes using the Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI)

, 2010
1. The ecological status of shallow lakes is highly dependent on the abundance and composition of macrophytes. However, large-scale surveys are often confined to a small number of water bodies and undertaken only infrequently owing to logistical and ...

Combined stable isotope and gut contents analysis of food webs in plant-dominated, shallow lakes [PDF]

, 2003
1. To determine feeding links between primary producers, invertebrates and fish, stable isotope analyses and gut content analyses of fish were conducted on the components of four shallow, eutrophic to hypertrophic, plant-dominated lakes. 2.

Impacts of channel morphology on residues and ecological risks of polychlorinated biphenyls in water and sediment in Chahe River

Water Science and Engineering, 2016
The impacts of channel morphology on the residues and ecological risks of 14 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners in water and sediment were investigated in summer (July) and autumn (September) in the Chahe River, in Nanjing, China.
