Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparison of Stochastic and Deterministic Methods for Mapping Environmental Noise from Opencast QuarriesDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Mario PinzariAn accurate mapping of the acoustic spatial variability generated by quarrying plants constitutes an important step in the assessment of the environmental compatibility of the extraction site with the surrounding area. This paper refers to the results of a study comparing performances obtained by stochastic and deterministic methods to determine the acoustic climate of the areas surrounding opencast quarries. To … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 28 Mar 2016 · 7,394 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of a Multi Stage Method to Assess the Landscape Alteration Induced by Quarrying Sites: A Comparative AnalysisDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Marco De Agostini, Mario PinzariThe aim of this study is to provide a design tool to forecast the effects that extraction methods and reclamation plans will generate on the land surrounding quarry sites. The method is based on a graphical approach and it consists of three consecutive phases. The first phase focuses on the quarry plant and aims to quantify the extent of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 2 Sep 2016 · 6,960 accessesView PDF Cite
