Aprašymas

Pre-University Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Earth Science / Geography - General, Basics, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: As an inhabitant of Grevenbroich, I am personally interested in the influence of lignite mining on my home town, which I am going to focus on in this research paper. For this purpose, the topic is essentially divided into two main parts. At first, I am going to portray the social development having taken place consistent with the different phases of valorisation of Grevenbroich's mines, from the very first excavation to modern times. Naturally, the changing situation of Grevenbroich's population has entailed drastic demographic changes as well. However, it is essential to take the huge ecological impact of brown coal extraction into consideration in order to gain a complete impression. Hereby, it has to be differentiated between the aquatic ecosystems and those ashore. Weighing these social and ecological effects, one can finally draw a conclusion of the influence of lignite mining on Grevenbroich, the energy capital of Germany.
