In their seminal paper, Arag´on and Rud (2013) investigate a production expansion of a Pe-ruvian Gold mine over ten years. The authors find strong evidence for increases in real income in the mining city and neighboring areas, albeit with a decreasing pos-

Sand mining in Poyang Lake has significantly impacted the wetland ecosystem over the past 20 years, yet a quantitative analysis of these impacts remains insufficient. Here, we used 63 Landsat images taken from 2000 to 2020 along with the support vector
