About this document
Tailings Dam Failures: Global Analysis by Shawn Hopper is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This thesis investigates the failures of tailings dams using statistical and remote sensing methods, addressing the significant risks associated with mine waste storage. It quantifies failure rates, analyzes breach-runout processes, and evaluates pre-failure deformation patterns, highlighting the need for improved monitoring and management strategies. The findings contribute to ongoing efforts for safer tailings dam practices and emphasize the importance of integrating satellite technology with ground-based
