Green Mining, 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic is a continuation of the previous successful Topic “Green Mining, https://www.mdpi.com/topics/G09CLY8PTX”. Mining is a basic industry which helps to advance social development and national economic construction. In the overall process of mineral resource exploration and development, a scientific and orderly form of mining is implemented where disturbance to the ecological environment around the mining area is managed within a controllable range. It is therefore of great significance within mining to realize environmental ecology, scientific mining methods, efficient utilization of resources, digitization of management information, and harmony between mining communities.

This research Topic aims to provide a platform for new research and recent advances in green mining technology. To promote the development of green mine construction, we encourage the submission of high-quality original research papers, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Safe and sustainable mining;
• Mineral resource management;
• Intelligent mining technology;
• Mining equipment;
• Geomechanics and geophysics;
• Rehabilitation of mine sites;
• Human–machine–environment systems;
• Green exploration in mines;
• Mine safety and personnel health;
• Harmless treatment of solid waste in mines.
