Rapid, exact, and fully monitoring of deformation and pollutions in mining area and mining city is of great importance for environment protection, risk evaluation and disaster precaution.However, the present knowledge of remote sensing is quite insufficient to be applied in mining environmental monitoring for its complexity and particularities.Aims to construct a space-air-ground synergic and multi-scale combined comprehensive experimental observation site for the verification, calibration and integration of mining area remote sensing, a MAESTRO (Mining Area Environment Synergic observaTion pRoving ground) program is implemented in Eastern China.This paper introduces the general framework, four features, and three phases of MAESTRO program.The outlines of MAESTRO phase-Ⅰ and equipped chief instruments in phase-Ⅰ are described.Four current experiments based on MAESTRO phase-Ⅰ and toward MAESTRO phase-Ⅱ are presented, which includes the heavy metal migration and loaded spectrum test, air pollution and aerosol measurements, heavy metal pollution measurement, and aerial hyperspectral observation experiment.
