The Board of the Landform Design Institute has set out an ambitious agenda for 2024, after meeting in person for the first time. Details at landformdesign.com/news/231219-bo…
Landform designers need more educational opportunities to give them the tools to properly manage mine closure and reclamation, and the LDI is going to give them what they need. That’s the focus of the latest edition of the Landform Design Quarterly: landformdesign.com/LDQ
All the latest on the LDI can be found in the Spring 2023 issue of the Landform Design Quarterly. The current issue and all back issues are publicly available at landformdesign.com/LDQ.
“Co-reclamation” was the focus of the the keynote presentation at the LDI’s 2023 AGM. That all the other news from the meeting at landformdesign.com/news/2023AGM-r…
All LDI members are invited to attend the Institute’s 3rd Annual General Meeting. This year’s guest speaker is reclamation and community engagement specialist Christine Daly. Zoom coordinates and agenda available at landformdesign.com/news/2023AGM-n…
Mining practitioners in Canada and abroad are taking a greater interest in coursework that can improve their knowledge of landform design following a successful and sold-out short course held recently in Calgary by the LDI. landformdesign.com/news.html
Getting Closure welcomes Mark Swinnerton of Green Gravity, an Australian firm that wants to convert decommissioned mines — or at least parts of them — into giant batteries that store electricity. If that sounds fascinating (it should), listen at landformdesign.com/pod.html
In the second episode of the second season of Getting Closure, host Mike O'Kane is joined by LDI Board member Lois Boxill for a discussion that ranges far beyond the mere mechanics and logistics of mine closure. landformdesign.com/pod.html
