The scope of the challenge is well documented in the report by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and GRID Arendal entitled “Mine Tailings Storage: Safety Is No Accident,” which was released in October 2017. The report recommends that “Regulators, industry and communities should adopt a shared, zero-failure objective to tailings storage facilities…” and identifies several areas where further improvements are required. In this context, the application of cutting-edge risk-assessment methodologies and risk-management practices can contribute to a significant reduction and eventual elimination of dam failures through Risk Informed Decision Making. As such, the book focuses on identifying and describing the risk-assessment approaches and risk-management practices that need to be implemented in order to develop a way forward to achieve socially acceptable levels of tailings dam risk.Waste managementEnvironmental monitoringSustainable developmentNatural disastersGeotechnical engineeringQuality controlReliabilityIndustrial safetyWaste Management/Waste Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U31001Monitoring/Environmental Analysishttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U1400XSustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Natural Hazardshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000Geotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37010Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Riskhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22032Waste management.Environmental monitoring.Sustainable development.Natural disasters.Geotechnical engineering.Quality control.Reliability.Industrial safety.Waste Management/Waste Technology.Monitoring/Environmental Analysis.Sustainable Development.Natural Hazards.Geotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences.Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk.622.28Oboni Francoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut961539Oboni Cesarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910366651903321Tailings Dam Management for the Twenty-First Century2179941UNINA
