Course Description
Geopositioning techniques as applied in the mining industry. Topics cover Global Positioning System (GPS), Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, Modern Mapping and Scanning Instruments, Geographical Information System (GIS). The materials covered support concepts and topics discussed in other mining courses by allowing the students to collect, process and analyze digital data and use the information to design ventilation system, rock blasting, underground support system, mining sequences, monitor subsidence and slope movements, and simplify the reclamation process. The course is comprised of a lecture period where concepts related to each of the topics listed above will be discussed, and a hands-on portion, which provides the students the opportunity to operate a GPS, motorized total station, and LIDAR scanner in order to acquire data and analyze the collected information using advanced processing software.
