Synopsis

Assessment, Restoration and Reclamation of Mining Influenced Soils covers processes operating in the environment as a result of mining activity, including the whole spectra of negative effects of anthropopressure and the environment, from changes in soil chemistry, changes in soil physical properties, geomechanical disturbances, and mine water discharges.

Mining activity and its waste are an environmental concern. Knowledge of the fate of potentially harmful elements and their effect on plants and the food chain, and ultimately on human health, is still being understood. Therefore, there is a need for better knowledge on the origin, distribution, and management of mine waste on a global level.

This book provides information on hazard assessment and remediation of the disturbed environment, including stabilization of contaminated soils and phytoremediation, and will help scientists and public authorities formulate answers to the daily challenges related to the restoration of contaminated land.

Mariya A. Pashkevich received her Ph.D. in Hydrogeology at Mining. Pashkevich held a 10-month internship at the Geological School of Lorraine Polytechnic Institute (France) and received a diploma of international engineer-expert in the field of Geology and Geoecology. In 1995-1996 she won the contest of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, and had a 10-month internship at Geological Faculty of the University of Liege (Belgium). During this internship, the methodology developed by Pashkevich was tested and implemented for assessment of environmental hazards of sulfide mining waste. In 2002, Pashkevich was elected as professor of National Mineral Resources University (Mining University). In 2005, she took on leadership in the new Department of Geoecology and became a Head of the Department. Pashkevich is the author of more than 180 scientific papers, including three monographs: "Technogenic massifs and their impact on the environment" (2000), "Ecology of the geological environment" (2002), "Rational remediation methods for technogenic pollution focuses of hydrocarbon compounds" (2008), she also had 11 patents for inventions.
