Isolating the impact of rock properties and operational settings on minerals processing performance: A data-driven appro...
Mining operations record a large amount of data from multiple sources (such as block model and online processing data) which is neither effectively nor systematically used to understand and improve operational performance. This paper proposes a generic semi-automatable data analytics method, the Integrated Analysis Method (IAM), that addresses the ...
Analysis of vegetation fractional coverage dynamics based on physiographic spatial models
Since remote sensing was deployed to monitor fluctuation in vegetation at the Earth’s surface, Estimation of vegetation fractional coverage (VFC) in connection with drivers played a necessary significance in global energy cycle, ecological systems and climatic model simulation. This study addresses some categories of datasets that were derived from...

Estimating shallow groundwater availability in small catchments using streamflow recession and instream flow requirement...
Groundwater is an important resource for multiple uses in South Africa. Hence, setting limits to its sustainable abstraction while assuring basic human needs is required. Due to prevalent data scarcity related to groundwater replenishment, which is the traditional basis for estimating groundwater availability, the present article presents a novel m...
Changes in glacier equilibrium-line altitude in the western Alps from 1984 to 2010: evaluation by remote sensing and mod...
We present time series of equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) measured from the end-of-summer snow line altitude computed using satellite images, for 43 glaciers in the western Alps over the 1984-2010 period. More than 120 satellite images acquired by Landsat, SPOT and ASTER were used. In parallel, changes in climate variables, summer cumulative positi...

Evaluation of surface water availability for inland valleys rice production: the case of Mankran Watershed in a deciduou...
In Ghana, inland valleys have been found to be suitable for rice cultivation and could potentially increase lowland paddy rice production. This study estimated the temporal variations of surface water resources and their spatial distribution in the Mankran watershed of Ghana through the collection of recorded hydrological data in the bench mark wat...
