This book presents integrative studies across four distinct themes at the intersection of earth sciences and engineering. The first chapter addresses the critical environmental issue of spontaneous coal combustion in the mining sector, detailing both traditional detection methods and advanced remote sensing techniques for early identification and monitoring. Spontaneous combustion poses significant economic, environmental, and health risks, demanding efficient surveillance technologies. The second chapter focuses on landslides, their causative factors, classifications, and monitoring applications. Active remote sensing sensors like radar and LiDAR are highlighted for their capacity to detect subtle ground deformations and aid in risk assessments. The third and fourth chapters examine alteration processes in mafic and ultramafic rocks, and the formation and economic potential of listvenite deposits. These chapters discuss mineralogical and geochemical transformations such as serpentinization, rodingitization, and chloritization, linked to tectonic settings and fluid-rock interactions. Listvenites, arising from hydrothermal carbonation and silicification, are significant hosts for gold and other valuable metals. Integration of remote sensing data, timely early warning systems, and AI-assisted analytics are advancing monitoring capabilities. Overall, the interdisciplinary approach fostered by this work contributes substantially to both academic research and practical applications in earth sciences and environmental risk management, alongside providing guidelines for economic resource exploration.
