Fig. 2: Spatial heterogeneity of global mine areas.
From: Global mining footprint mapped from high-resolution satellite imagery
Global Moran’s I index = 0.115, z-score = 240, p value < 0.001. Mine areas are aggregated to 8653 fishnet cells (15,400 km2 per cell, with some cells bisected due to irregular coastal borders) projected to Interrupted Goode Homolosine. A The global distribution density of mapped mining areas; B Anselin Local Moran’s I55.
