Presentation Summary
LANDFORM DESIGN is an emerging process used to successfully reconstruct mine land. It allows industry, regulators, and communities to work together to manage costs and risks, minimize liability, and produce progressively reclaimed landscapes with confidence and pride.
It builds on the successes of mine reclamation by expanding and empowering the multidisciplinary design team.
The talk and discussion explore the roles for the various team members, and crucially how they learn to collaborate in an interdisciplinary way to build mining landforms, landscapes, and regions acceptable to all.
