Global Mapper's Versatile Raster Analysis Tools: Application on Tailings Dam Break Analysis
Global Mapper is a robust GIS analysis tool that offers a range of powerful features applicable to various fields of science and engineering. This presentation will focus on Global Mapper's utility in water engineering, particularly in tailings dam breach analysis (TDBA) and inundation mapping. Specifically, this presentation will explore Global Mapper's capabilities for rapid raster analysis, terrain modification, and volume calculations.
Global Mapper's features can be harnessed to conduct a comprehensive TDBA. In TDBA, the development of Emergency Response Plans (ERPs) is crucial. This presentation illustrates how Global Mapper can analyze multiple volumes within the complex geographic settings of a tailings dam and determine their contributions to the breach volume.
