This study is an attempt to correlate VLF-EM data with the radiometric measurements to decipher the subsurface structure and to locate uranium mineralization in the shear zone. The study area is around Beldih mine which is an open cast apatite mine located on the South Purulia Shear Zone. VLF method has been applied to map the structure and the presence of radioactive minerals has been delineated by the detection of highαandγcounts with respect to the background radiations. High radiation counts and high surfaceγactivity are found just above the higher apparent current-density zones in all the profiles studied, at various locations, indicating uranium and/or thorium mineralization as well as good correlation between these techniques.

Monitoring Stations

<p>The upper Hunter Valley region in New South Wales (NSW), Australia has several open-cast coal mines, which supply coal to two large thermal power plants (TPPs) in the area, beside the export market. Long-term Particulate Matter (PM) pollutants and meteorological measurements are recorded by a network of 13 NSW government-owned continuous monitoring stations in the upper Hunter Valley region. The Ramagundam area in the state of Telangana, India has similar pollution source characteristics (coal mines and TPPs), but PM pollutant measurements are largely carried out with manual monitoring stations at 24-hour intervals, not more than twice a week. As the coal and overburden excavation from open-cast coal mines and stack emissions from TPPs lead to local PM pollution, we have used MODIS-MAIAC Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) at 550 nm and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) along with the local meteorological data such as ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction to model PM10 and PM2.5 at the upper Hunter Valley and Ramagundam regions. Our model can explain about 60% of variation in PM10 (p-value < 0.0001), while a similar model is able to explain about 75% of the variation in the PM2.5 (p-value < 0.0001). We will extend our model results from Hunter Valley to Ramagundam area and comment on the potential of using geospatial products such as AOD as a proxy to ground-based pollution measurements in developing countries such as India, where pollution data is scarce.</p>
