Automated GIS pipeline scoring artisanal mining site suitability across Ghana's Ashanti Region using Google Earth Engine, Landsat 9 NDVI, SRTM terrain slope, and proximity analysis. Built with Python and geemap. # Artisanal Mining Site Suitability Scanner — Ashanti Region, Ghana An automated geospatial pipeline that scores land suitability for artisanal mining across the Ashanti Region using satellite data and terrain analysis. ## What it does Combines three inputs to produce a 0–3 suitability score for every pixel in the Ashanti Region: - Terrain slope (SRTM DEM) — flat terrain scores higher - Vegetation cover (Landsat 9 NDVI) — low vegetation scores higher - Proximity to known mining footprints — within 5km scores higher ## Results High-suitability zones concentrate in the Obuasi-Tarkwa corridor — consistent with Ghana's primary gold-producing belt. ## Live map View interactive map ## Tools Python · Google Earth Engine · geemap · GeoPandas · Landsat 9 · SRTM DEM
