SCOPE
The primary goal of this session is to present the key results of innovative methods developed using Earth Observation (EO) data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms within the HORIZON project S34I. Various methodologies were employed for different study areas, addressing the three phases of the mining cycle. This session will showcase advancements in mapping critical raw materials (CRM), mining waste deposits, ground instability and acid mine drainage (AMD) using optical and hyperspectral data and inland mineral prospectivity mapping and metallic placer identification in coastal regions. Various EO data sources were utilised, including optical multi- and hyperspectral data, SAR, LiDAR, and GNSS data. In terms of AI, several algorithms were either developed or updated to enhance these methodologies.
