Abstract

We have developed a decision support system (DSS) for open mining areas which reflects and simulates the major decision steps of a mining expert (engineer, manager) during the formulation of a restoration plan. The software supports the mining expert to structure the various restoration alternatives and to explore both environmental and economic effects of the different measures. As key information layers we have included thematic maps derived from Earth observation (EO) data. The LARCO ferro-nickel mining area in Evia (central Greece) has been chosen as test site. EO can be used in the decision process by providing land cover and elevation information about the mine at various stages during its operation. © 2004 Taylor and Francis Ltd.
