Download or read book Appalachia s Coal Mined Landscapes written by Carl E. Zipper and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book collects and summarizes current scientific knowledge concerning coal-mined landscapes of the Appalachian region in eastern United States. Containing contributions from authors across disciplines, the book addresses topics relevant to the region’s coal-mining history and its future; its human communities; and the soils, waters, plants, wildlife, and human-use potentials of Appalachia’s coal-mined landscapes. The book provides a comprehensive overview of coal mining’s legacy in Appalachia, USA. It book describes the resources of the Appalachian coalfield, its lands and waters, and its human communities – as they have been left in the aftermath of intensive mining, drawing upon peer-reviewed science and other regional data to provide clear and objective descriptions. By understanding the Appalachian experience, officials and planners in other resource extraction- affected world regions can gain knowledge and perspectives that will aid their own efforts to plan and manage for environmental quality and for human welfare. Appalachia's Coal-Mined Landscapes: Resources and Communities in a New Energy Era will be of use to natural resource managers and scientists within Appalachia and in other world regions experiencing widespread mining, researchers with interest in the region’s disturbance legacy, and economic and community planners concerned with Appalachia’s future.

This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long viewed as a problem in other countries, the ownership of land and resources is becoming an issue of mounting concern in the United States. Nowhere has it surfaced more dramatically than in the southern Appalachians where the exploitation of timber and mineral resources has been recently aggravated by the ravages of strip-mining and flash floods. This landmark study of the mountain region documents for the first time the full scale and extent of the ownership and control of the region's land and resources and shows in a compelling, yet non-polemical fashion the relationship between this control and conditions affecting the lives of the region's people. Begun in 1978 and extending through 1980, this survey of land ownership is notable for the magnitude of its coverage. It embraces six states of the southern Appalachian region—Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Alabama. From these states the research team selected 80 counties, and within those counties field workers documented the ownership of over 55,000 parcels of property, totaling over 20 million acres of land and mineral rights. The survey is equally significant for its systematic investigation of the relations between ownership and conditions within Appalachian communities. Researchers compiled data on 100 socioeconomic indicators and correlated these with the ownership of land and mineral rights. The findings of the survey form a generally dark picture of the region—local governments struggling to provide needed services on tax revenues that are at once inadequate and inequitable; economic development and diversification stifled; increasing loss of farmland, a traditional source of subsistence in the region. Most evident perhaps is the adverse effect upon housing resulting from corporate ownership and land speculation. Nor is the trend toward greater conglomerate ownership of energy resources, the expansion of absentee ownership into new areas, and the search for new mineral and energy sources encouraging. Who Owns Appalachia? will be an enduring resource for all those interested in this region and its problems. It is, moreover, both a model and a document for social and economic concerns likely to be of critical importance for the entire nation.

Download or read book Geology Geochemistry and Mineral Resource Assessment of the Southern Nantahala Wilderness and Adjacent Roadless Areas Rabun and Towns Counties Georgia and Clay and Macon Counties North Carolina written by John D. Peper and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southern Nantahala Wilderness and the Buzzard Knob and Southern Nantahala Roadless Areas are near one another and near the North Carolina-Georgia State line in Rabun and Towns Counties, Ga., and Clay and Macon Counties, N.C. The areas collectively span a region of polydeformed and metamorphosed rocks assigned to three major thrust sheets, from east to west the Tallulah Falls, Helen, and Richard Russell thrust sheets. Outcrop patterns and minor structures in the older sillimanite- grade Richard Russell rocks in the western part of the study area outline an earlier phase of isoclinal folding not apparent in the outcrop pattern of younger kyanite- and staurolite-grade Coweeta Group rocks immediately to the east across the Shope Fork fault in the east-central parts of the study area. Major movement on the Shope Fork fault postdates isoclinal F1 folding but preceded F2 isoclinal folding, because F1 fold traces are covered by rocks above the fault and the fault is folded by F2 folds. Later shearing along the fault occurred during F3 cross-folding. Geologic considerations and geochemical sampling and analysis suggest low potential for all mineral resources except common building stone. The potential for some other nonmetallic resources, including corundum, feldspar, sheet mica, and vermiculite, is moderate to low. These are present in limited amounts but are currently of little economic value. The small deposits of soapstone present in the areas are too impure to be considered a resource. Late Archaic-Early Woodland Indian bowl-carving sites in soapstone are an archeological heritage that might deserve conservation. Oil and gas resource potential is unknown but believed to be small. Resource potential for gold is low; for massive sulfide deposits containing some copper and zinc, it is low to moderate. There is little to no resource potential for other metals.
