Abstract
Since the beginning of human history, metals and minerals have been extracted from the Earth’s crust. However, the environmental residues left by the mining sector, such as tailings, waste dumps, and contaminated water, the management of mine closure and post-closure is becoming more and more significant. Many regions in Europe and around the world are struggling with these problems, frequently lacking the resources and expertise needed to properly manage old mine sites effectively.
The aim of this paper aligns with the primary objective of the REMINDNET action and Working Group 3 (WG 3) which is to map best practices for mine site rehabilitation and provide cost-effective monitoring methods and risk management tools.
The QGIS database, following best practices for mining rehabilitation, will be continually updated throughout the duration of the COST Action and is visualized in a Web GIS app using the open-source software GeoServer and MapStore. Furthermore, a Python script that makes use of the Landsat satellite constellation has been developed for efficient monitoring of mining locations. All of these methods improve Europe's capacity to track, restore, and manage the environmental effects of mining legacies.
