Integration of the Electrical Resistivity Tomography and Seismic Refraction Survey Data to Identify the Structure of Oxidized Waterlogged Zones of the Mine Tailings (Western Siberia, Russia)

The current situation of mine wastes, ore dressing tailings, and slag from the metallurgical industry in direct access to oxidizing and transporting factors has radically changed the environmental conditions in mining regions, not only in Russia but also throughout the world. Water transport of potentially toxic elements from dumps is gaining momentum over time due to the destruction of the tailings mineral matrix and the transition of elements to mobile forms.
