High-resolution three-dimensional (3-D) displacements of mining areas are crucial to assess mining-related geohazards and understand the mining deformation mechanism. In 2018, we proposed a cost-effective and robust method for retrieving mining-induced 3-D displacements from a single SAR amplitude pair (SAP) using offset tracking (OT) procedures. Hereafter, we …
J-WAFS researchers Scott Odell, a visiting researcher in MIT's Environmental Solutions Initiative, and John Fernández, a professor in MIT's Department of Architecture, are examining climate change, copper mining, and desalination, and their environmental and social impacts on Indigenous communities, glaciers, and agriculture in Chile.
contribute to residents' displacement result more centrally from changing relations between wildlife and people and the power and authority to manage conflict between them. These changes, and the increase in wildlife populations itself, moreover, are the result of a suite of measures aimed at producing the LNP as a space of 'wilderness.'

Nicholas Lund with the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) predicts that mining impacts at Lake Clark and Katmai parks could include impact on fisheries due to degraded air and water quality, habitat disturbance with displacement of wildlife and diminishment of visitor experience due to a loss of wilderness.
Most definitions of forced displacement echo a technocratic-humanitarian orientation which emerged due to the widespread mass displacement of people because of both natural and man-made crisis including large-scale development-related projects such as mining at Chiadzwa (Gukurume and Nhodo, 2019; Gukurume and Tombindo, 2021), hydro-power …

2. The many ways mining activities impact biodiversity. Mining affects biodiversity at multiple spatial scales (site, landscape, regional and global) through direct (i.e. mineral extraction) and indirect processes (via industries supporting mining operations, and external stakeholders who gain access to biodiversity-rich areas as the result of mining).

Pollution: Freshwater wildlife are most impacted by pollution. Pollutants such as untreated sewage, mining waste, acid rain, fertilizers and pesticides concentrate in rivers, lakes and wetlands and eventually end up in estuaries and the food web. Climate change: The emerging driver of habitat loss is climate change.
Mining poses serious and highly specific threats to biodiversity. However, mining can also be a means for financing alternative livelihood paths that, over the long-term, may prevent biodiversity loss.
Mining activities, including prospecting, exploration, construction, operation, maintenance, expansion, abandonment, decommissioning and repurposing of a mine can impact social and environmental systems in a range of positive and negative, and direct and indirect ways. Mining can yield a range of benefits to societies, but it may also cause conflict, not least …
MIDLAND,Texas— The dunes sagebrush lizard, a small, rare lizard that lives only in Texas and New Mexico, was named one of ten U.S. species most urgently threatened by fossil fuel development in a report released today by the Endangered Species Coalition. The report, Fueling Extinction: How Dirty Energy Drives Wildlife to the Brink, highlights the top ten U.S. …

The process of mining and drilling for minerals can lead to soil erosion, deforestation, and water pollution, affecting the health and well-being of both wildlife and humans. Moreover, the extraction and use of fossil fuels have led to the emission of greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change and global warming.
