Landscape and the large-scale surface mining of lignite
Abstract
The purpose of this study is the discussion of landscape and the largescale
surface mining of lignite. The subject is approached by -
- considering surface mining and the factors that affect it,
with particular reference to the New Zealand situation;
- considering landscape architecture and large-scale surface
mining, with particular reference to lignite, and
- applying landscape consideration to a lignite deposit at Roxburgh East, Central Otago.
