Environment - Researchers want to monitor mining dumps with satellite data
Researchers want to use satellite data to better monitor mine dumps in future and thus ensure greater safety. They are using findings from the European Copernicus program. "We are combining the satellite data with the data obtained from sensors on drones or on the ground," said project coordinator Moritz Kirsch from the Helmholtz Institute for Resource Technology in Freiberg. "This data is processed using machine learning methods so that we can detect changes and identify their cause."
The monitoring methods are being developed and tested in cooperation with mining companies at several locations in Europe, South America and Africa. The MOSMIN research project, in which twelve international partners are involved, is being funded by the European Space Agency with almost three million euros.
