U-Net convolutional neural network models for detecting and quantifying placer mining disturbances at watershed scales
Placer mining is a mineral extraction method in floodplains that involves the removal of earth material to access mineral-laden sediments, a process that can have significant and long-term impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Given the widespread nature of mining, new tools are required to monitor the pot...
