Explosive silica-rich volcanic eruptions pose a major, recurring threat to Earth’s surface environment; these eruptions can immediately deposit up to several hundred cubic kilometers of volcanic ash over hundreds to millions of square kilometers, posing a societal hazard at the scale of an entire continent. It is therefore essential that we collect comprehensive data and […]

This project aims to develop, and implement a code for real-time geotechnical hazard assessment and reporting for ultra-deep mining. This pilot project will be tested on a real mining site the Glencore’s Nickel Rim South Mine near Sudbury. This algorithm will represent a step-change in the capability to assess and manage geotechnical risk in mining, […]
