This paper reports the use of UAV for mining-related applications at the Ulan open-cut mine and Tahmoor underground mine, in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The preliminary results showed that UAV is capable for estimating the stockpile volume, monitoring the highwall slope stability, and mapping the underground mine subsidence.
This paper reports the findings on monitoring land subsidence in the south of Sydney, Australia, using data from ALOS-1 and ENVISAT satellites. Twenty-three L-band ALOS-1 PALSAR scenes acquired between 29 June 2007 and 07 January 2011 and twenty-six C-band ENVISAT ASAR image acquired between 09 July 2007 and 06 September 2010 are analysed in this research. Since the city of Wollongong and the town...
In this paper, the land deformation in the Gippsland Basin, Victoria, Australia has been mapped using the interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) time-series analysis with the ALOS L-band SAR data. Land subsidence in the basin resulting from mining activities has already been known over the past few decades. There has been ongoing concern that irrigation and off-shore oil and natural gas...
On the 23rd of September 2009, Sydney encountered its most severe dust storm in 70 years. The dusts were originated from the Lake Eyre Basin and elevated and swept across the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, and Queensland by gusty winds. Ground air quality observation indicated that the dust particle density was 70 times higher than the normal when the dusts struck Sydney. The authors...
