## SmallMinesDS
|
| 15 |
The gradual expansion of unregularized artisanal small-scale gold mining (ASGM) fuels environmental degradation and poses risk to miners and mining communities. To enforce sustainable mining, support reclamation initiatives and pave the way for understudying the impacts of mining, we present SmallMinesDS, a benchmark dataset for mapping artisanal small-scale gold mining from multi-sensor satellite images. The initial version of the dataset covers five districts in Southwestern Ghana in two time periods.
