Researchers from the Sustainable Minerals Institute’s Julius Kruttschnitt Minerals Research Centre (JKMRC) have adapted a software and technology package to improve the safety and effectiveness of remote mine site surveying.
The dramatic expansion of Mongolian mine sites from initial diggings to their present size has been captured using satellite imagery for the first time by researchers at The University of Queensland’s Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI).
In September 2013, CMLR’s Phill McKenna travelled to Mongolia as part of the ADRAS (Australian Development Research Awards Scheme) project to ground truth a series of Landsat satellite images.
