The environmental problems of developing solid mineral deposits are largely associated with the need to store waste from mineral mining and processing. Such wastes occupy tens of thousands of hectares and are a source of pollution of atmospheric air, soil, surface and groundwater as a result of wind and water erosion. Large areas of stored waste determine the reasonability of using remote observation methods for assessing their conditions in order to make informed decisions aimed at improving the ecological state ...

Stockpiling and conservation of mining waste is of high social and environmental importance, since it is the mining industry that is characterized by large volumes of waste. It is almost impossible to update information on the ecological state of ore mining and processing wastes accumulated during the deposits development and their impact on the environment by studying the archives of enterprises, due to the incompleteness of the stored data that is not within the scope of industrial interests. In this regard, it ...
