ImpactMin will develop new methods and a corresponding toolset for the environmental impact monitoring of mining operations using Earth Observations. Cutting-edge technology will be proposed for the combined use of satellite remote sensing, aerial lightweight measurements and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

The ImpactMin consortium consists of 11 well experienced partners from 11 different countries. The project has been divided into 9 Work Packages (WP). WPs have their own leader. There are 3 fully technical WP dealing with satellite remote sensing (RS) and lightweight aerial RS and the 3rd technical WPs synthesize the results of the two previous ones extended with the demonstration sites experiences. WP3 will aid theunderstanding of the socio-economic aspects of mining operations.
