This book offers a problem-and-solution approach to environmental remediation in mining, including the environmentally sustainable utilization of waste materials from the mining industry. It largely comprises articles published in Springer journals, which have been thoroughly revised and expanded. With supplementary data and illustrations, it discusses specific problem areas in relevant Caribbean locations and provides an overview of geotechnical and microbial solutions to prevent post-mining deterioration in this area.
Mark Harris has studied geography and geology in Canada at the University of Windsor. He received his PhD in environmental geochemistry from the University of Adelaide. He tutored at the University of Adelaide in the fields of earth science & physical geography. His research focuses e.g., on the solutions for alumina dumps. Mark Harris now teaches at the Northern Caribbean University, where he became the first and only four-time winner (2003, 2007, 2012, & 2016) of Northern Caribbean University's Distinguished Faculty Awards for research and scholarship.
