Based on the results of an extensive literature research, we summarize the research
progress of remote sensing monitoring in terms of identifying mining area boundaries and …

Mining-induced fractures influence the stability of overburden and may provide pathways for
transferring heat and mass in underground environment. A novel approach was proposed to …

Catastrophic landslides have occurred frequently in the karst areas of Southwestern China
for these years, which makes it urgently necessary to reveal their triggering mechanisms …

Safe and environmentally friendly coal mining in loess gully regions is one of the most
popular research topics in the coal industry. In this study, the development law of surface …

Mining in an open-pit slope results in the deformation and instability of rock masses.
Correspondingly, it is difficult to quantify the range of internal rock mass damage completely …

Bed separation's evolution plays a crucial role in mining safety. Accurate identification of bed
separation location is necessary to prevent disasters caused by bed separation. However …

Underground mining under an open-pit slope results in movement and instability of rock
masses. However, most rock mass movement prediction methodologies are empirical and …

The stability of jointed rock slopes can be effectively analyzed using the discrete element
method (DEM). However, the criteria for terminating the DEM iterative calculation process …

Fractures in the overburden induced by mining disturbances provide channels for heat-mass
exchange between the subsurface environment and ground surface. Void fraction is an …

High-slope and rock mass joint development are the factors for predicting and controlling
blasting vibrations under open pit mining. Blasting vibration adversely affects the stability of …
