Advanced analysis of satellite data reveals ground deformation precursors to the Brumadinho Tailings Dam collapse

چکیده
Abstract Catastrophic failure of a tailings dam at an iron ore mine complex in Brumadinho, Brazil, on 25th January 2019 released 11.7 million m 3 downstream. Although reportedly monitored using array geotechnical techniques, the collapse occurred without any apparent warning. It claimed more than 200 lives and caused considerable environmental damage. Here we present Intermittent Small Baseline Subset (ISBAS) technique satellite-based interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data to assess course events. We find that parts wall were experiencing deformation not consistent with consolidation settlement preceding collapse. Furthermore, show timing would have been foreseeable based this observed precursory deformation. conclude monitoring techniques may help mitigate similar catastrophes future.

Floods from tailings dam failures.
This paper compiles the available information on historic tailings dam failures with the purpose to establish simple correlations between tailings ponds geometric parameters (e.g., dam height, tailings volume) and the hydraulic characteristics of floods resulting from released tailings. Following the collapse of a mining waste dam, only a part of tailings and polluted water stored at the dam is...
متن کاملDam Deformation Monitoring Data Analysis Using Space-Time Kalman Filter
Abstract: Noise filtering, data predicting, and unmonitored data interpolating are important to dam deformation data analysis. However, traditional methods generally process single point monitoring data separately, without considering the spatial correlation between points. In this paper, the Space-Time Kalman Filter (STKF), a dynamic spatio-temporal filtering model, is used as a spatio-tempora...
