Applications of Remote Hyperspectral Sensing in the Characterization of Alberta's Oil Sands Tailings
DownloadSpring 2016
The bitumen production from oil sands surface-mining operations produces large volumes of mineral wastes called tailings. Characterization of the oil sands tailings is of importance to monitor their state for trafficability and reclamation issues, to assess the tailings operation performance, and...
