• Applications of Ground-Based Radar to Mine Slope Monitoring
  5/1/2004 - Conference papers
  Several remote sensing technologies are being evaluated as tools to assess slope stability and monitor slopes for hazards. An interferometric radar device capable of detecting very small displacements on slopes has been assembled and tested.
• Evaluating Techniques for Monitoring Rock Falls and Slope Stability
  8/1/2002 - Conference papers
  Several remote-sensing technologies are being evaluated as tools to monitor slopes for hazards and to assess slope stability.
• Detecting Problems With Mine Slope Stability
  8/1/2002 - Conference papers
  Slope stability accidents are a leading cause of fatalities at U.S. surface mines. NIOSH is conducting research to reduce these fatalities. This paper presents some of the research and potential new technologies for slope monitoring and design.
• Current Research on Slope Movement in Mines: Use of Hyperspectral Imagery
  1/1/2000 - Conference papers
  NIOSH is investigating remote sensing technologies to detect, monitor, and mitigate surface mine hazards that lead to slope failure. A field-portable spectro-polarimetric imager and a stationary interferometric radar device are promising options.
• Material Properties Affecting the Stability of a 50-Year-Old Rock Dump in an Active Mine
  12/1/1999 - Reports of Investigations
  Material properties affecting slope stability were measured in a large 50-year-old, partially consolidated rock dump located in an active open-pit mine. Field tests included single-ring infiltration and density.
• Advances in Remote Sensing Techniques for Monitoring Rock Falls and Slope Failures
  8/1/1998 - Conference papers
  This paper describes the potential adaption of systems such as interferometric synthetic aperture radar, imaging spectroscopy, and time-domain reflectometry, to slope monitoring and design.
