This major impact is accompanied by loss of habitat, noise, dust, blasting effects, erosion, sedimentation, and changes to the visual scene. Mining aggregate can lead to serious environmental impacts. Societal pressures can exacerbate the environmental impacts of aggregate development. In areas of high population density, resource availability ...
Discover how the impact of human activities on geomorphology of our planet in profound ways. Explore the impact of deforestation, urbanization, mining, and climate change on geomorphology.

This chapter is an introduction to the significance of quarrying from the point of view of anthropogenic geomorphology. As a consequence of the extraction of mineral raw materials, so-called 'mining…
The history of geomorphology over the last 50 years has involved a number of major themes: the development of new techniques, the study of landscapes over time, and the investigation of organic influences, submarine environments, and extra-terrestrial phenomena. Also important have been studies of earth system science, global change, …
Lastly, geomorphic impacts (4%) were the least impacts of stone quarrying. However in my view, they had more serious adverse effects than others ranked highly by the community.
The objective of the research was to assess and to increase the understanding of geomorphic impact produced by SSOM.
Mining and quarrying provide the basic raw materials for sustaining human well-being and are critical for achieving economic developments. At the same time, environmental degradation and its associated social impacts and inequalities have become a grave reality of mining sector that affects all nations, individually and/or collectively. …
The effect of the blasting operations and other quarry works are discussed in terms of the geomorphic impact, air and water pollution, noise, and influence on biota.
Gunn J and Gagen [4] states that quarry on valley side can extend laterally along the valley side causing large geomorphic impacts or they can work back into the valley wall, where the impact is less [5]. Quarries on hills generally have large geomorphic impacts which indicate that crushed stone quarrying have removed an entire karsts hill.
This chapter discusses the types of mining operations, the history of mining, and some current geomorphic topics in mining, which include landforms and landscapes, geomorphic impacts and hazards, and the nascent field of mined land reclamation.
The influence of quarry size on environmental impact is obvious: all other things being equal, the larger the quarry, the larger the geomorphic impact (Sauro 1993 ). The terrestrial environment is the …
The human dimension of geomorphology is concerned, therefore, not only with human impacts on climate and land systems, but also with the reverse role, in which geomorphic systems impact humans. The effects that climate and environmental systems have on human societies is a central concern of natural hazards research.
The main positive outcome of stone quarrying to the stakeholders in the community was wages and self-employment while the least was decision making capacity. The major negative impacts indentified were effects on human health and the least were geomorphic impacts.
This study assessed the effects of quarrying activities on some selected communities in the Lower Manya Krobo District. Questionnaires targeting inhabitants around the quarry sites, observations,…
Anthropogenic geomorphology is the study of the role of humans in creating. landforms and modifying the operation of geomorphological processes such as. weathering, erosion, transport and ...
Aggregate Resources provides a comprehensive collection of 27 diverse scientific papers on aggregate topics, such as geology of deposits, geophysical exploration techniques, deposit prediction and modeling, land-use case studies, production values and trends, geotechnical properties, legislation politics and others. This diversity in subject matter is …
Impact of glaciations on mountains. Climate plays a dominant role in nearly all geomorphic processes, including glacial erosion. During the Quaternary Period, climate was highly variable, cycling ...
of high scenic value, thus compounding the effects of visual impacts of quarrying. The principal geomorphic impact of quarrying is the removal of stone, which results in the destruction of habit
The principle geomorphic impact of quarrying is the removal of stone, which results in the destruction of habitat including relict and active caves and natural sinkholes.
In this theme, Pavlowsky et al. (2023) investigated the effects of extreme flood events on riparian forests, looked at variations in large wood (LW) features among valley floor landforms, and quantified the spatial distribution of channel and floodplain LW loads to determine the geomorphic factors on downstream and cross-valley LW …
An inventory of terrestrial vertebrates in six post-quarrying sites in the Donbas Region of Ukraine revealed 104 species (2 amphibian, 6 reptile, 78 and 18 mammal species); some relationships were considered between environmental heterogeneity and …
What are the consequences of building dams on rivers with a high gradient and removing sand and gravel from the channels? The main purpose of this article is to study the channel deformations that occurred because of sand-gravel extraction and dam construction. Gravel extraction from river channels not only causes channel …
Third, we show that geomorphic processes can both mediate and increase the geomorphological impacts of extreme events, influencing societal risk. Fourthly, we show the potential of managing flood and storm risk through the geomorphic system, both near-term (next 50 years) and longer-term.
Surface hazards can form hazard cascades which expand their reach. However, our understanding of their complex dynamics and ability to mitigate their impacts remain limited. In 2018, two landslides dammed the Jinsha River in the Tibetan plateau and formed landslide-dammed lakes. Subsequent dam breaches prompted the evacuation of …
The principal geomorphic impact of quarrying is the removal of stone, which results in the destruction of habitat including relict and active caves and nat- ural sinkholes (Gunn and Gagen, 1987).
In addition to the environmental impact of its byproducts, large scale quarrying activities [23] are associated to other factors, including landscape destruction, noise pollution, consumption of ...
