Slope Stability In Australia’s Golden Mile

385,642

Published 2021-02-25

I simulated 8,214 landslides to stop one happening for real! When slopes at the Kalgoorlie Super Pit, Australia's largest open-cut gold mine, collapse, there is a lot more than people's jobs on the line.

"On a lonely friday evening I spend 14 hours setting up different simulations" Yeah, thats an engineering student right here

You have a Tom Scott level of quality in your videos, but with much more sciency topics, love it.

About time I took a look at what 'real' Aussie engineers get up to!

Video: "some simple matrix math" Me: F#&@!

While I enjoy the engineering discussed here--I particularly love this video because my WA wife has done nothing but make fun of me for trying to pronounce "Kalgoorlie" in my incomprehensibly American accent. So it's real nice to finally have a low-key proper pronunciation guide.

I'm gonna recommend these videos to my science teacher, they're so good

As normal, this seems incredibly interesting!

"Trucks with $4 million dollars roll past..." - wait what? let me rewind and hear that again "Trucks with $4 million dollars roll past..." - wait, he actually said it, didnt he?! "Trucks with $4 million dollars roll past..." - that doesn't even make sense, why'd there be millions of dollars on a truck in that pit? Does he mean the gold?! "Trucks with $4 million dollars roll past..." - ok, gimme subtitles, something is wrong here. "Trucks worth $4 million dollars roll past..." - ah... aussie. :P

been working in the super pit as an engineer for 10+ yrs. Interesting to go thru your video, but in reality there are shit tons of factors that a software can never simulate.

The youtube translation is on top once again. The title "translated" into german says: "Kalgoorlies 150.582.809€ landslide (and how we can avoid the next one)"

You’re the Tom Scott prodigy we dindt knew we need until now

The complexities that come into play on these massive scales astound even if they are just digging a hole.

Thanks, Tom Scott. This channel is a Great addition to my subcriptions!

This is an incredible channel. You're so young! Youtube has a good future ahead (as long as long as you keep making videos)

6:35 holy heck that is a fine walk
@4plainlimbs 3 years ago

have to say this is as always, some of the best accessible science content on youtube. Love it! keep it up.

It's so cool to see an entire series based around Perth! I've lived here my entire life and didn't know like any of this.

I cannot wait for you to say "this video was brought to you by Curiosity Stream and Nebula" your content will fit right in!
