Monitoring of territories over underground mine is extremely important for identifying and controlling negative geotechnological and environmental consequences of mining activities. An example of the dangerous geodynamic processes are the result of the development of the mines of the Kalush-Holinsky deposit of potash salts in Ukraine. The territories of the Kalush city, which are located above mine fields, undergo significant deformations. These processes were the result of wrong decisions regarding the method of liquidation of mine cavities in the Kalush-Holinsky deposit. The purpose of the work is to analyze the geodynamic activity of the earth’s surface in the territory of the city of Kalush according to the data of satellite radar monitoring for the 2018–2022 period and to compare the results with the data of previous observations. The input data for the study were 36 radar images of the Sentinel-1A satellite. The method of persistent scatterers (PSInSAR) was used to process the results of acquisition. The maps of the average rates of deformation of the earth’s surface in the area of the mine fields of the “Kalush” mine were obtained. The rate of subsidence of the territories above the mining works reaches 4 mm/year. The maximum rates of deformation of the earth’s surface are observed over the Khotyn sylvinite field, but the rates of subsidence have decreased significantly compared to the previous data of the monitoring carried out in 2016–2017.

摘要

Monitoring of territories over underground mine is extremely important for identifying and controlling negative geotechnological and environmental consequences of mining activities. An example of the dangerous geodynamic processes are the result of the development of the mines of the Kalush-Holinsky deposit of potash salts in Ukraine. The territories of the Kalush city, which are located above mine fields, undergo significant deformations. These processes were the result of wrong decisions regarding the method of liquidation of mine cavities in the Kalush-Holinsky deposit. The purpose of the work is to analyze the geodynamic activity of the earth’s surface in the territory of the city of Kalush according to the data of satellite radar monitoring for the 2018–2022 period and to compare the results with the data of previous observations. The input data for the study were 36 radar images of the Sentinel-1A satellite. The method of persistent scatterers (PSInSAR) was used to process the results of acquisition. The maps of the average rates of deformation of the earth’s surface in the area of the mine fields of the “Kalush” mine were obtained. The rate of subsidence of the territories above the mining works reaches 4 mm/year. The maximum rates of deformation of the earth’s surface are observed over the Khotyn sylvinite field, but the rates of subsidence have decreased significantly compared to the previous data of the monitoring carried out in 2016–2017.
