This report provides details on field activities in placer geology conducted by the Surficial Geology Unit of the British Columbia Geological Survey Branch. In 1989. studies of gold-hearing placer deposits at active mines were undertaken with the objective of identifying geological criteria useful for recognizing placer potential. This research was continued in I990 and a total of over 60 diffe...

Chief Executive Officers of the National Mining Association (NMA) for the Mine of the Future (MOF) and their prioritized Technology Development Road Map, together with a 2010 Section 11 National Research Council/National Engineering Academy Study, confirmed that boundary detection in coal and metal/nonmetal mining remains a mining technology gap. The National Aeronautical and Space Administrati...

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...

During the celebration of thirty years existence and work Serbian Geological Society (SGS) on February 10, 1921, as a sign great respect toward Academician Jovan Zujovic, President founder father School, all members SGS gave him an unique geological hammer with engraved dedication their signatures. Over past hundred years, many generations geologists have found inspiration by looking at sharing...

Probabilistic and soft computing methods are increasingly adopted in various fields of engineering geology. In the past decades, extensive original and innovative studies of various engineering geology problems have been conducted using probabilistic and soft computing methods, and substantial new theories, methods, insights, experiences, and data have been attained. This special issue is aimed...
