Acid Rock Drainage
Text Box: Telfer Gold Mine waste rock characterization, metal mobilization and uptake by the surrounding environment. Providing inputs into mine closure plan. (2003– ongoing) Terramin Angas Zinc Mine, coordinating the investigation and quantification of the potential for generating acid rock drainage. Developing and implementing a monitoring program. (2003—2009) Research and monitoring of acid generation from tailings accidentally spilled in Boac River, Philippines from Marcopper Mine. Testing of freshwater, estuarine and marine species for metal bioaccumulation. Human intake of metals through substance diet. (1996-2001) Acid rock drainage research and monitoring on Misima Island PNG. The research consisted of setting up a series of test pads, barrel lysimeters, and implementing several remediation trials to remove metals from leachate stream. Extensive investigations of bioaccumulation in marine and freshwater species and human uptake through diet. (1994-1996) Acid rock drainage and monitoring on Tom’s Gully, Northern Territory Australia. Installing a series of peizometers and establishing a stream sampling program to monitor impact on groundwater and rivers from acid rock drainage. Developing a remediation program to ameliorate the damage to vegetation. (1992-1993).
