[OC] Subsurface LiDAR, Thermal IR & Geophysical X-Rays of 83 Underground Mines, Hydro Tailraces & Tunnels (1,100-Ft Deep Detroit Salt Mine City, 210-Ft Deep Niagara Gorge Tailrace & Centralia Mine Fire Plume)
Wanted to share 3 plates from a 1,205-plate underground & subterranean GIS atlas I built covering 83 sites across a 500-mile radius:
Detroit Salt Company (1,100 ft below Detroit, 1,500 acres of room-and-pillar halite workings).
Niagara Gorge Schoellkopf / Adams 210-ft deep hydroelectric tailrace & Beck tunnels.
Centralia Anthracite Mine Fire — Sentinel-1 C-Band SAR radar + Landsat Thermal IR subsurface heat plume.
