Three case studies are presented: Lake Vegoritis and the Amynteon mine (both located in northern Greece) and the Lavrio mine area, in central Greece. We found that using high resolution satellite remote sensing data and state of the art GIS techniques with parallel development of a fully integrated geospatial database system provided monitoring and feedback at appropriate spatial scales; therefore, such data
can be used for long-term environmental management and monitoring of reclamation and rehabilitation of mining areas.
