Projektbeschreibung
Erweiterte Überwachung von Bergbauabfällen
Im Bergbau fallen Rückstände wie Gestein und Abfallerze an, die ein Umwelt- und Sicherheitsrisiko darstellen. Der Umgang mit diesen Abfällen ist insbesondere hinsichtlich Stabilität und der Kontrolle der Umweltbelastungen schwierig. In traditionellen Überwachungsmethoden werden meist keine fortschrittlichen Technologien integriert. Daher soll im EU-finanzierten Projekt MOSMIN ein umfassender Überwachungsdienst entstehen. Das Team kombiniert Erdbeobachtungsdaten von Copernicus mit Daten von Flugdrohnen und geophysikalischen In-situ-Sensoren, um die Verformung und das Umweltrisiko ganzheitlich zu überwachen. Mit Integration über mehrere Skalen und Quellen hinweg werden Auflösung, Genauigkeit und Interpretierbarkeit verbessert. Die MOSMIN-Lösungen werden in Zusammenarbeit mit Bergbauunternehmen weltweit getestet, um die Überwachungseffizienz auszubauen, Risiken zu mindern und die Ressourcennutzung zu maximieren.
Ziel
Our society is highly dependent on raw materials, which are currently mainly sourced by mining. Mining activities generate residues such as rock wastes, tailings and stockpiles. These materials are associated with environmental and safety risks that need to be carefully managed throughout their life cycle, with an emphasis on stability and the prevention of water and soil pollution. Earth-observation (EO)-based techniques are seldom used for monitoring these deposits, and multi-sensor field data is commonly not integrated despite recent technological advances. MOSMIN will develop holistic, full-site services for the geotechnical and environmental monitoring as well as valorisation of mining-related deposits based on a combination of EO and in situ geophysical data. We will use Copernicus EO data for large-scale monitoring of ground deformation and surface composition. Innovative change detection algorithms will highlight displacements and identify environmental hazards. Satellite data will be integrated with real-time, high-resolution data obtained from unoccupied aerial vehicles and sensors installed at the site, leveraging the power of machine learning for fusion and resolution enhancement of multi-scale, multi-source data. Novel, non-invasive geophysical techniques such as distributed fibre-optic sensing will provide subsurface information to identify resource potential, and risks such as internal deformation and seepage. In collaboration with international mining companies, MOSMIN will use pilot sites in the EU, South America, and Africa to develop and trial comprehensive monitoring services, which are calculated to have a Total Available Market of €1.2bn and expect to be commercialised shortly after project completion by three industry partners. The MOSMIN integrative service and tools will improve the efficiency and reliability of monitoring, maximise resource utilisation and help mitigate environmental risks and the impact of mining operations.
