Earth observation boosted by artificial intelligence

Earth observation is performed using images captured by satellites that are equipped with optical or radar sensors and serves a variety of purposes. In the last decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of satellites that monitor the Earth’s surface. Today, nearly 2,600 satellites are orbiting the Earth, of which more than 400 are capturing images of the Earth’s surface. An astronomical quantity of data is produced daily, because many of them have a high number of sensors and a short revisit frequency. This massive data availability makes it possible to carry out studies on the temporal evolution of land use and coverage. The massive quantity of satellite images, however, makes analysis by photo interpretation very laborious, if not impossible. Various techniques have been developed in recent years to try to automate these analysis tasks. One of the leading techniques relies on artificial intelligence (AI).

Data science serving business

In an increasingly connected world, managing massive amounts of data, or big data, is a major driving force of the economy. Today, it is easier to access thanks to several technologies that have made it possible to extract, organize and centralize the data to make it quickly accessible throughout the organization. For most businesses, the real challenge today is to clearly outline the actions that need to be taken based on the collected data and making the right decisions as a result.

Risks associated with mining dam failure

In a previous blog article, we discussed the mining dam safety review. This article focuses on assessing and categorizing the risks of dam failure. Remember that mining dams are classified according to their potential consequences of failure, whether downstream or upstream of the structure. The term “consequences” refers to the damage above and beyond that which would have occurred in the same event or conditions had the dam not failed. The consequence of failure of a mining dam that contains liquefiable solids can be greater than those for the same dam containing only water. Although tailings and liquefiable solids may travel a shorter distance than water, the material can act as a viscous fluid with a high specific gravity that can cause more physical and environmental damage than water alone. Removal of released solids and clean-up could be costly, impractical and impossible in some cases, for example in densely forested areas or water bodies.

Environmental considerations for dam decommissioning – Part 1: Sediment management

Dams serve various retention purposes including flood control, water storage for power generation and containment of tailings at mines. Eventually, dams will need to be decommissioned, usually because they have outlived their usefulness or are in a state of disrepair. The owner will need to ensure that the relevant environmental regulatory requirements are met and that the decommissioning is completed with minimal harm to the environment. Depending on the location of the dam, any proposed decommissioning may pose a range of challenges, with environmental issues that warrant consideration. In this first of a series of related blog articles, we will consider one of the main environmental issues; sediment management.
