The Pacific Alliance — comprising Peru, Chile, Mexico, and Colombia — ranked as the world’s leading copper mining bloc in 2024 and holds a significant share of critical and commodity minerals such as molybdenum, li...

The clay-hosted lithium deposit in Sonora, Mexico, represents a potential mining site for this critical mineral, which is essential for clean energy technologies and currently in high demand during the energy transition....

Hydrocarbon pollution from oil spills, traffic emissions, and industrial processes continues to be a significant global threat to biodiversity, soil quality, water quality, and human health. Lichens, mutualistic life for...

Abstract Land subsidence induced by underground coal mining consistently leads to persistent ponding in coal-grain overlapping areas (COAs), substantially impairing agricultural productivity. However, amid stringent farm...

Currently, subsea mining is primarily limited to sea sand extraction and deep-sea mining that focus mainly on mining activities at the seabed surface. These conventional methods not only pose significant environmental ri...

Abstract This systematic review explores the social aspects of cleaner production adoption in the Global North and South, addressing the critical gap in understanding how socio-cultural, governance, and behavioural facto...

Mining development is of prime importance for economic growth, industrialization, and resilience, particularly for countries rich in minerals, such as Iran. Using an excellent multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) method,...

Context and Background: Rapid growth in Tanzania’s mining sector has intensified compulsory land acquisition (CLA), yet the practical integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into valuat...

This article looks at the politics of coal mining in East Kalimantan in Indonesia and La Guajira in Colombia. The focus is on government power and business interests. In a Marxian theoretical framework, the study questio...

Laterite soil is essential in the construction industry, especially in road and building construction. The practice of abandoning borrow pits after mining laterite soil in the Northern Region of Ghana has resulted in lan...

The study, conducted to analyze the temporal and spatial changes in current land use types in Demre district of Antalya Province and to establish a foundation for future land management studies, was supported by multispe...

Mining activities in the Kenyan Marble Quarries (KMQ) are a potential source of atmospheric pollution, raising health concerns for the local population. This study aims to examine the extent to which marble mining contri...

Cave 338 is a high-altitude prehistoric site located at 2,235 m a. s.l. in the eastern Pyrenees (Queralbs, Girona, NE Iberian Peninsula). Excavated between 2021 and 2023, the site preserves an exceptional and well-strati...

ABSTRACT The analysis of spatiotemporal data is essential across many fields, such as transportation, meteorology and healthcare. Data gathered in practical applications often suffer from incompleteness due to device fai...

Abstract Beach erosion represents a major hazard to coastal regions worldwide, yet the role of fluvial floods remains an understudied component of beach dynamics. Accounting for fluvial flooding is essential, as its negl...

Mining wastes keep soil metal contents above toxicity thresholds many years after abandonment. The physical and chemical infertility of mining tailings makes them prone to high rates of erosion, posing an environmental t...

Chattanooga has undergone a remarkable transformation from a heavily industrialized rail depot and one of the nation’s most polluted cities to the first designated National Park City in the United States of America...

This study focuses on implementing PowerApps to automate and optimize the calculation of the carbon footprint at ABB, a company dedicated to industrial process automation in the mining sector. The implementation not only...

Abstract Lithium (Li) recovery from secondary resources, such as mine waters, is essential to meet the increasing global demand. However, lithium in mine waters typically occurs at low concentrations, necessitating effic...

To investigate the influence mechanism of roof pre-splitting blasting on overlying strata movement in automated roadway formation without coal pillars, the mechanical response characteristics of the bearing structure of ...

Background Coal seams exhibit the extensive distribution of a variety of indigenous functional microorganisms. Among these, some archaea enable methane metabolism using CO2 as a substrate, providing the potential for the...

The tin industry in Indonesia is a major global producer, and mining and smelting processes can mobilize and concentrate Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM), particularly radionuclides from the 238U and 232T...

Abstract The residual coal pillar and adjacent goafs in the upper coal seam have a superposition effect on the stress environment of the lower coal seam in close distance coal seams with downward mining. Therefore, it is...

Gold mining plays a central role in Ghana’s national economy. However, conventional exploration approaches, particularly within artisanal and small‑scale mining sectors, often rely on trial‑and‑error methods ...
