The first step in mining activities is rock excavation in both mine development and production. Constant pressure for cost reduction and creating an improved/safe work environment for personnel has naturally resulted in increased use of mechanical excavation systems in many mining operations. Also, mechanical excavation and mining is more compatible with automation, meaning possibility of reduc...

Mount Coonowrin located in the Sunshine Coast hinterland north of Brisbane, is one of a scattered group of peaks and hills that constitute the Glasshouse Mountains and which is protected within the Glasshouse Mountains National Park. Concern about visitor safety in relation to rockfalls on the mountain were supported by the results of two geotechnical studies and led to the closure of this sect...

15 Biodiversity conservation is now about prioritisation, especially in a world with limited 16 resources and so many habitats and species in need of protection. However, we cannot 17 prioritise effectively if historical and current information on a particular habitat or species 18 remains scattered. Several good platforms have been created to help users to find, use and 19 create biodiversity ...

theoretical review of ‘mining pit lakes’ indicates that like natural lakes such lakes display a huge diversity. they are typically in a non-equilibrium state with respect to their surroundings. hence, at the decommissioning phase of mining operation a detailed technical study are required on different aspects of such created water bodies considering its morphometry, geology, hydrology, water qu...

Natural stone has been used since the dawn of civilization as a construction material for buildings that are historical and cultural monuments. The Zagreb Cathedral is an example such building data regarding extraction its reconstruction scientifically underestimated. Based on review previously published literature investigation current state sites where was quarried, this paper presents system...
