Geo Ecological Safety in Open Pit Mining: ASSESSMENT, FORECAST AND MANAGEMENT

The monograph presents the results of comprehensive studies of the geoecological state of technologically loaded areas of mining regions on the example of the Kalmakyr deposit and the objects of the Almalyk mining and metallurgical complex. An assessment of the scale, directions and causes of the transformation of the components of the geological environment under the influence of long-term economic activity was carried out, the zoning of the territory was carried out according to the level of technogenic load and environmental risk. The threats of environmental change in the context of the socio-economic system are considered, including risks to public health, degradation of land and water resources, as well as the likelihood of man-made accidents. Methods for predicting the state of the geological environment on the basis of mathematical and geoinformation modeling of geomechanical processes, filtration of pollutants in groundwater and the spread of dust and gas emissions in the atmosphere have been developed.
