Barapukuria coal mine is the biggest coal mine in Bangladesh discovered in 1985. It has lease area around 10.53 square km with the total reserve of 390 million tons. Though it fulfils the major portion of demand of coal in Bangladesh nevertheless it has severe effect like deformation of topography of that surface area while extracting coal from mine and causes severe impact on vegetation on the coal mine vicinity. This is due to some poor design of extraction process. The intent and purpose of this research is to make an analysis of the influence of topography changes due to mining and impact on vegetation. To assess the effect of mining on vegetation and topography remote sensing technology, GIS and Landsat image were used. Our study confirms the deformation of topography and loss of vegetation due to mining. If this mining process continue it will create adverse effect on environment. The result is expected to be a reference for various parties to perform activities related to the mining of coal in Barapukuria coal mine.

There are serious mining subsidence around Longgu coal mine, local people's livelihood has been affected seriously. Remote sensing technology was used to survey the mining subsidence, because it is macroscopic, rapid, economic, effective and objective. There were 6 period remote sensing images were collected in total. Those remote sensing images were compared, and the history about those mining subsidence was known. Filed investigation were applied in this articles to survey these mining subsidence, also. The area of these mining subsidence destroyed were: 0.35km2 in December 2010, 0.56km2 in August 2011, 1.01km2 in September 2012, 1.26 km2 in May 2013, 1.53km2 in November 2013. There were a rapidly develop in the four years. The mining subsidence in this area belong to the young type, developed rapidly, trend to destroy great deal farmland during a short period. The mining subsidence should be monitored persistent use remote sensing. The regular about mining subsidence should be further study. And some prediction works should be done based on the regular study.

Submarine pipelines must be designed to resist wave and current induced hydrodynamic forces especially in and near the surf zone. They are buried as protection against forces in the surf zone, however this procedure is not always feasible particularly on a movable sea bed. For this reason the characteristics of the sediment transport on the construction site of beaches should be investigated. In this investigation, the application of the remote sensing method is introduced in order to determine and observe the coastal morphology, so that submarine pipelines may be protected against undesirable seabed movement.

With remote sensing technology and computer technology, remote sensing classification technology has been rapid progress. In the traditional classification of remote sensing technology, based on the combination of today's technology in the field of remote sensing image classification, some new developments and applications for land cover classification techniques to make more comprehensive elaboration. Using the minimum distance classifier extracts of the study area land use types. Ultimately extracted land use study area distribution image and make its analysis and evaluation.
