Description:
Surface coal mining (SCM) has undergone dramatic changes in the last 30 years. Large-scale SCM practices are at the center of an environmental and legal controversy that has spawned lawsuits and major environmental investigations. SCM techniques extract multiple coal seams by removing an area of many square kilometers and creating serious environmental problems. Information about mining activities location is essential for environmental applications, speci!cally the temporal and spatial patterns of land cover/land
use change (LCLUC).
