<p>An automated underground mine monitoring and communication system based on the integration of new technologies is introduced to promote safety and health, operational management and cost-effectiveness. The proposed system integration considering Wireless ...

The aim of this study was to identify factors and their impact on land degradation processes in three areas of the Basilicata region (southern Italy) using a procedure that couples environmental indices.

Unlike fragmental rockfall runout assessments, there are only few robust methods to quantify rock-massfailure susceptibilities at regional scale. A detailed slope angle analysis of recent Digital Elevation Models (DEM) canbe used to detect potential rockfall ...

<p>In mountainous areas, rockfalls represent a major threat to human safety, public infrastructures and economic assets. Accurate mapping and qualification of risk areas are required so that public authorities can make secure and efficient decisions regarding ...

This paper is about concentrations of Zn, Cu, Cr, Cd, Pb and Fe in surface marine sediments of the southern coast of Sfax that were studied in order to understand current metal contamination at the outlet of a mixed industrial and domestic wastewater effluent ...

The standard design tools for buildings and civil engineering infrastructure are not prepared for working with real world subsurface information that originate from the 3D geological and geotechnical models. Also GIS standards (as the OGC standard CityGML) ...

<p>This paper describes the systematic and holistic approach to geo-risk reduction that has been developed and applied to numerous deep water oil and gas projects and is now being used for shallow water wind farm developments.</p>

<p>Nowadays, geographical information system (GIS) and remote sensing are emerging as powerful techniques widely applicable in natural resource management and development virtual models. Recent developments in remote sensing, aerial photography and GIS make ...

<p>A research about Landslides Platform Service 2 (forecasting of shallow rapid slope movements). The main objective of the service was to develop an integrated procedure for the forecasting and warning of distributedshallow landsliding to be used for civil ...

Since its inception in 1835, the British Geological Survey (BGS) has been responsible for providing much of the earth science related information that is required by government, the public and institutions. These requirements have evolved over time, with emphasis ...
