GAF Applies Earth Observation For Improved Governance Of Informal Mining

GAF AG, in a team together with DLR (German Aerospace Center - Germany) and IES (Institute for Environmental Security - Netherlands), is carrying out a contract to use optical and radar remote sensing sensors and interpretation techniques to locate, map and monitor small-scale and artisanal mining (ASM) operations. In many countries, information about ASM is largely incomplete and, as a consequence, ASM activities remain informal and outside of governmental supervision andregulation.
