Mining geohazards—land subsidence caused by the dewatering of opencast coal mines: The case study of the Amyntaio coal mine, Florina, Greece

Loupasakis, C.; Angelitsa, V.; Rozos, D.; Spanou, N. - In: Natural Hazards 70 (2014) 1, pp. 675-691

Mining activities impact the nearby environment, causing the so-called mining hazards. The land subsidence phenomena caused by the dewatering of the mines are listed among the mining-induced catastrophic geohazards slowly affecting extensive areas around the opencasts. These large-scale...

The state of land subsidence and prediction approaches due to groundwater withdrawal in China

Xu, Ye-Shuang; Shen, Shui-Long; Cai, Zheng-Yin; Zhou, … - In: Natural Hazards 45 (2008) 1, pp. 123-135

This article gives a general introduction to land subsidence with the prediction approaches due to withdrawal of groundwater in three subsided/subsiding regions in China: the deltaic plain of Yangtse River (YRDP), North China Plain (NCP), and Fenwei Plain (FP). On YRDP, Shanghai is the typical...

Assessment of hazards and economic losses induced by land subsidence in Tianjin Binhai new area from 2011 to 2020 based on scenario analysis

Hu, Beibei; Zhou, Jun; Xu, Shiyuan; Chen, Zhenlou; Wang, Jun - In: Natural Hazards 66 (2013) 2, pp. 873-886

Land subsidence, a major geological hazard in Tianjin, has caused serious losses. In this research, we established a numerical model to predict potential land subsidence caused by groundwater overdraft in the next decades. The model set three groundwater extraction scenarios, corresponding to...
