Learning to Predict Forest Fires with Different Data Mining Techniques

The motivation for this study was to learn to predict forest fires in Slovenia using different data mining techniques. We used predictive models based on data from a GIS (geographical information system), the weather prediction model Aladin and MODIS satellite data. We examined three different datasets: one only for the Kras region, one for whole Primorska region and one for continental Sloveni...

Malaria in French Guiana Linked to Illegal Gold Mining

The Suquash Coalfield, Vancouver Island

This report is part of an ongoing project, begun in IYX7, drain the district. Most of the coalfield is covered by till which limits exposures to the showline, rivers and roadcuts. Climate is fairly mild and wet, and snowfall is common to update knwledge of the coal basins of Vancouver Island. Limited information exists pertaining to coelmeasures of the Squash crudfield or snh-basin (the terms c...

Numerical modeling of mining subsidence in the Southern Coalfield of New South Wales, Australia

Mining subsidence associated with longwall extractions beneath significant natural features such as rivers and streams in the Southern Coalfield of New South Wales has posed risks to the natural environment. In this paper, a case study is presented showing the methodology in two-dimensional UDEC (Itasca 2006) modeling for mining induced subsidence around river valley, taking advantage of the di...
