Description
Analyzing the data depicted on the map provides a comparison of the footprint made by the truck-and-shovel mining shown by the SPOT imagery compared to the mining disturbance data. This allows them to see where future development is expected to occur. This vital information facilitates the forecasting and decision making process for members of the Department of Energy.
