个人简介
His research is in the field of mitigating the impact of mining and municipal solid waste disposal. Outcomes from his research have been incorporated in changes to environmental legislation in South Africa. He contributed to a series of guidelines for managing mine tailings in Australia, as well as developing a document for the International Atomic Energy Association on barrier systems for retaining uranium mining waste. Andy has been involved in many industry-focussed projects with current projects including An Evaluation of Tailings Storage Facilities Monitoring Technologies managed by AMIRA and funded by eight mining companies; Future Tails aimed at training, research and education to improve tailings management funded by BHP and Rio Tinto; and Evaluating Potential Static Liquefaction of Tailings to Prevent Failures, funded by six mining companies as well as the Australian Research Council. Andy is also currently a member of five international tailings review boards.
A global impact
Since experiencing first-hand the devastating impacts of the failure of a mine tailings dam, my research has focussed primarily on improving the way in which tailings dams are built, operated and managed.
Working with a group of international colleagues, we helped move the international mining industry towards adopting technologies that utilise much less water than conventional approaches, improving not only the stability of these enormous structures, but also reducing environmental impacts.
Since the recent, catastrophic failures of tailings dams in Canada and Brazil (the latter resulting in 19 fatalities), we have gained increased international interest in our work, and currently have a number of projects working to further improve the resilience of tailings storage facilities.
