Proposal of an environmental sustainability index for open-pit mines using landscape fragmentation indicators
The perception of the environmental impacts caused by economic activities is subjective and usually negatively affects the image of an extractive sector such as mining. In order to avoid this, the environmental impact assessment must be supported by clear and well-selected environmental indicators. An index of sustainability was created to demonstrate that open-pit mining is comparable to other economic activities. The index is composed by of environmental indicators like water and energy consumption combined with an indicator of landscape fragmentation, using remote sensing data and geoprocessing. A comparative study considering a ten-year period was carried out with the biggest iron ore mine in Brazil, N5W, and the largest Brazilian soybean producer, the Sorriso County, in the Mato Grosso State to illustrate the methodology.
期刊介绍:
REM – International Engineering Journal (antigua REM – Revista Escola de Minas) es la primera revista técnica de Sudamérica. Fue fundada en enero de 1936 por los estudiantes de la Escuela de Minas de Ouro Preto y desde entonces se ha especializado en la publicación de artículos en las áreas de la Ingeniería Civil, Geología, Metalurgia y Materiales y, Minería y Mecánica y Energía.
Su objetivo es servir como un medio de publicación para los trabajos técnicos y científicos originales de investigadores nacionales y extranjeros en esas áreas. Contribuciones originales (artículos y cartas) son aceptadas. Artículos de revisión dependen de la invitación y/o análisis de los Editores.
El envío de artículos para su publicación implica que el trabajo no ha sido publicado previamente, que no está siendo presentado para su publicación en otra revista y no se publicará en otro lugar, en la misma forma, sin el permiso, por escrito, de los Editores/Autores.
