Call ENV.2009.4.1.3.2: Earth observation in support of a sustainable exploitation of mineral resources

  • To provide the scientific basis to help monitoring/ observing, the impact
  • n the environment and on the society of the exploration and

exploitation of mineral resources involving key industrial partners in the domain of raw materials.

  • The project should incorporate as well partners/ stakeholders with

knowledge about heavily exploited areas – in particular in the developing countries.

  • A demonstration component should be included in the project to be

carried out through pilot phases of monitoring and observing of heavily exploited areas.

  • More specifically it is expected that the project would contribute to the

EU Technology Platform on Sustainable Resources in the domain of environmental footprint reduction by using new observing, monitoring methods, and providing information about populations and societies affected by the exploration and exploitation of raw material.

  • The project should be implemented taking into account the relevant

GEO tasks.

EO-MINERS Scientific objectives

Assess policy requirements at macro (public) and micro (mining companies) levels and define environmental, socio- economic, societal and sustainable development criteria and indicators to be possibly dealt using EO Use and develop EO on demonstration sites to demonstrate the capabilities of integrated EO-based methods and tools in:

  • monitoring,
  • managing
  • contributing

reducing the environmental and societal footprints

  • f all phases of a

mining project Contribute making reliable and objective information about affected ecosystems, populations and societies, basis for a sound “trialogue” between industrialists, governmental

  • rganisations and

stakeholders

Methodology

  • assess policy requirements and define criteria and indicators to

be possibly dealt using EO methods and tools

– addressed through an analysis of policies related to the environmental and social footprint of mineral industries

  • develop high level EO-based data products applicable to the

different stages of mining activities within the life cycle of mining

  • perations

–

  • ver the three demonstration sites
  • subsequent contribution to the development of generic EO data

integration schemes

– to characterise affected ecosystems, populations and societies – prepare indisputable documents for industrialists, governmental

  • rganisations and stakeholders.
  • take care of robust and reliable standards and protocols that

guarantee the repeatability of the methods deployed.

Expected outputs

  • developing EO-based tools for helping monitoring and observing

the impact on the environment and on the society of the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources.

  • Addressing GEO (Group on Earth Observation) and GEOSS

(Global Earth Observation System of Systems) process and tasks

– using technological outputs to define core elements of an environmental

  • bserving system

– examining how this system fits in GEO and contributes to building GEOSS.

  • Means for a sound “trialogue” i.e. “An interchange and discussion of

ideas among three groups having different origins, philosophies, principles, etc.”)

– between the three main groups involved, the industry, governmental

  • rganisations and other stakeholders (e.g. NGOs) are expected.

EO-MINERS and GEO

  • Objectives

– Filling a strategic gap in GEO, an initiative which does not address minerals to any meaningful extent at present, based on:

  • Mining and Environmental EO Systems developed in EO-MINERS
  • Identification of synergies and gaps between EO-MINERS and GEO
  • Strategy

– Review the existing GEO Tasks covering the 9 societal benefit and 5 transverse areas defined by GEO work plan 2007-2009. – Maintain a dialogue with GEO, visiting GEO members and participating

  • rganisations in ACP countries and Europe as necessary

– Participate in GEOSS conferences and workshops, making presentations on the contribution of mining and environmental observations to specific societal benefit and transverse areas – Run a minerals workshop with GEO members and/or the GEO Secretariat

  • Deliverables

– “EO-MINERS to GEOSS Mapping Database and Report” including :

  • a proposal for the update of the GEO Work Plan
  • proposals for follow-on projects to deliver against common EO-MINERS and

GEO targets

  • proceedings of EO-MINERS presentations at GEO Workshops and

Conferences.
