Contribution：

Dr. Werner’s research employs GIS and remote sensing technologies to assess impacts of mining.  Notable papers include a widely cited review of GIS and remote sensing methods for assessing mining impacts, a study identifying various operational factors that correlate with mining land use, and a study mapping the distribution of >80,000 abandoned mine sites across Australia.  Dr. Werner’s impact in this field has been recognised through grant funding, as in 2022, he received a prestigious DECRA Fellowship from the Australian Research Council to conduct a study examining future mining footprints at a global scale.
