Integrated assessment of reserves at a peat deposit with the use of GIS technologies
Subject of investigation is the examination of Olcheskoe peat deposit at Sverdlovsk region as peat bog ecosystem. The purpose of the work is to determine the opportunities for integrated use of peat reserves of a deposit. The results of peat reserves assessment are introduced according to the categories of peat raw material; with the results of this assessment the assignment matrix of raw material categories at Olcheskoe peat deposit is worked out by the ways of use. The data acquired upon peat reserves integrated assessment have become the basis for the construction of 3D model of Olcheskoe peat deposit. In order to create the model Micromine 11.0 program is applied. Integrated assessment offers an opportunity to selective recoveiy along the layers (along the years) through the deposit exploitation. Peat raw material reserves of various categories are applied with account of existing directions of national economy depending on genetic classification. The scheme of system control over peat bog ecosystems is introduced. One of the main units in the given system is the creation of a single data bank, formed on the basis of modern geo information technologies.
