Description:    Studies were conducted to demonstrate the applications of geophysical methods to the acid mine drainage (AMD) problem. The use of geophysical surveys to map the subsurface distribution of AMD in three dimensions was described. Also described were geophysical methods used to map the distribution of disseminated sulphide and zones of active oxidation or reduction reactions. These methods were tested on a large revegetated tailings area and the results were presented.
Notes: Summary in English and French.
