amber, illegal mining, multispectral satellite imaging, environmental monitoring, losses assessmentAbstract
The disturbed land area increasing of 48.4 ha for 5 months was detected by satellite monitoring as a result of illegal mining within 295.6 ha site. The minimum losses caused by land deterioration and contamination only are estimated at 4.3 million UAH. The proposed technology is unified for nature protection monitoring as well as for decision-making support within the open mining area of other type too.
