Assessment of Acid Mining Drainage (AMD) Formation in the Ore Stock and Waste Dam Reservoir Areas: An example of Gümüşhane by Enver Akaryalı, Mehmet Ali Gücer, Selçuk Alemdağ

“…AMD describes the formation of acid when sulphide-bearing (especially pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite) mine wastes are exposed to oxidising conditions, typically in the presence of air (oxygen) and water, due to groundwater, rain and run-off. In this study, processes have been carried out to determine the occurrence of AMD in the ore stock and waste storage areas of the Gümüştaş Mining. …”

The variability and predictability of summer southwest monsoon intensity measurement index across mainland indochina: from local synoptic to large scale perspectives by Kyaw Than Oo, Yinshuo Dong, Kazora Jonah

“…This large-scale index is influenced by key pressure systems, such as the Tibet Low and the Mascarenes High, and is characterized by the movement of a concentrated north-south rain belt and a quasi-stationary low-level jet. Our analysis reveals strong correlations between the SMII and regional rainfall patterns, particularly during the peak intensity of the summer months. …”
