Elaine Tanner lives with her life partner, Jimmy Hall, at the head of Mill Creek in Letcher County, Kentucky. Jimmy is a sixth-generation Letcher Countian, and the land is his family land. Together, they like to roll around on their property on their ATV. But lately, Tanner’s spent more time searching for signs of damage than having fun. That’s what she was doing on Thursday morning investigating her mountain.
After the March 28 rainstorm, Tanner was dismayed to find the hillside looking even less stable than usual. Boulders had shifted downslope. Trees were leaning, she said, almost like they were drunk.

The North America Blasting Automation Services Market is expected to witness market growth of 13.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2026).
The usage of the latest technologies, like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) in blasting operations is disturbing the mining landscape. The usage of IoT sensors in equipment used in drilling is mainly gaining traction due to the ability of these sensors to collect critical data about the compressive strength, density, fractures, velocity, faults, and spaces stuck between the rocks and ores.
The data acquired from the sensors are subjected to Machine Learning (ML) and AI algorithms in order to obtain critical and important subsurface information. Numerous companies are in progress to offer AI-enabled drill automation platforms in order to improve aftermarket drilling operations. For example, MineWa
