A case study assessing thermal activity at a significant geotourism locality of Ema coal tailing dumps in the mining landscape of Ostrava, Czech Republic
Original language description
The study focuses on the assessment of surface area thermal activity measured by air thermal photography at thesignificant geotourism locality of Ema coal tailing dumps. Ema has become a geotourism post-mining landmark associatedwith black coal mining in Ostrava, the third largest city in the Czech Republic. At the same time, Ostrava is the largest industrialcity in the Czech Republic. The study analyses a new approach to assess the surface area thermal activity in coal tailing dumps.A correct analysis of the surface area thermal activity is a fundamental requirement for projects to deal with the clean-up of adump with thermal activity. Ema has a scientific and geotourism-educational character and it is important to plan solutions toachieve thermal activity stabilization. A 4 year monitoring programme was implemented using a new approach grounded inassessment based on thermal activity area classification (active and inactive), and comparison with a reference point in the dumpwith the highest temperature without thermal activity during the measurement period. It was this boundary condition thatfacilitated the correct assessment of the thermal activity surface area and it helped to establish gradual decreases in thermalactivity from 0.29 ha (i.e. 0.79% of the total area of the dump) in 2011 to 0.15 ha (i.e. 0.41% of the total area of the dump) in 2014. © 2017 The Author(s).
