Geomorphic change detection analysis at mine sites in eastern Kentucky

Mining affects vegetation cover, soil, landscape, etc. during the mining and many years after mining has stopped. Monitoring geomorphic changes can help in identifying the most effective reclamation approaches in mining regions.  The objective is to assess the impact of mining on geomorphology, including changes in topography, area, extraction and accumulation volume. The DEM of Difference (D0D) and Slope local length of autocorrelation (SLLAC) techniques were used for this study. The analysis was conducted using SRTM DEM from 2000 and Lidar DEM from 2019. DoD is created by subtracting one elevation model from another to assess changes in geomorphology. SLLAC calculates changes in landscape by comparing the autocorrelation of slope values at different times. Preliminary results suggest significant changes in topography including slope and aspect. This research provides insights useful for sustainable environmental planning by comparing the geomorphology of two different periods
