Abstract

GIS and Spatial Analyst for Topsoil Regulatory Compliance
Track: Mining and Geosciences
Authors: Janine Ferarese

Sample point datasets derived from GIS location measurements of topsoil depth were interpolated to 2-dimensional raster data types using ArcGIS Spatial Analyst. The extension tools were then used to study the correlation of measured topsoil depth to regulation depth mandated in coal surface-mining permits.
