Air inversion is a frequent occurrence in these regions, and is exacerbated by the natural topography of an open-pit mine. The resulting inversion cap is known to contribute to fouling of air in the open pit, resulting in loss of production. This paper discusses the construction and validation of a three-dimensional model that simulates the flow of air and the transport of gaseous contaminants in an arctic open-pit mine and the effect of low influent velocity and large gust velocities on the contaminant profiles in the mine. It was found that while higher velocities of air may remove contaminants from the pit bottom, they might not remove contaminants from the pit entirely, necessitating artificial mitigation measures.","PeriodicalId":414255,"journal":{"name":"Natural Resources & Engineering","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127501411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to preserve native flora, fauna, and natural resources of regions, the effective control of invasive species is imperative. We consider a three-species predator–prey model, where the top predator, functions as an invasive species, with the ability to grow explosively to ‘uncontrollable’ levels in a finite time, if unchecked. We investigate the effect of random environmental forces, on such explosive growth. We find that environmental noise alone, cannot prevent explosive growth in invasive populations. We interpret these results as showing that invasive species can strongly adapt to a randomly changing environment. We provide supporting evidence of such phenomenon, from the ecological literature. Our results are applicable to a wide variety of natural resource management practices.","PeriodicalId":414255,"journal":{"name":"Natural Resources & Engineering","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129461537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
