   "abstract": "Although mineral deposits have been classified by their geologic and mineralogical characteristics for decades, the recognition that mineral deposits also could be classified by their environmental characteristics is relatively new. In the past 5 years, numerous advancements have been made in this subject area, building on the earlier work of economic geologists who classified geologic characteristics. Several different approaches to understanding the environmental behavior of mineral deposits and associated altered areas have been taken, ranging from wholesale assessments of large areas (millions of km2) to detailed assessments of individual watersheds or individual mines. While these first attempts have succeeded in describing some of the environmental characteristics of ore deposits in a number of ways, many important \u201cenvironmental variables\u201d are not included in present descriptive models. For example, the models should be expanded in scope to include a more thorough treatment of climatic and ecoregional effects- embodying such physical environmental characteristics as precipitation, evaporation, temperature, and ground water-surface water interactions. More complete model descriptions will have applications to the determination of baselines and natural backgrounds in mined and unmined areas, as well as possible anticipated effects of new mining in a given area, and mitigation and remediation strategies. The challenge to geologists and geochemists is to incorporate a widely disparate set of physical and chemical characteristics of mineralized and altered zones at scales ranging from microscopic (sub-millimeter) to macroscopic (10\u2019s to 100\u2019s of kilometers). This paper presents an overview of the development of mineral deposit environmental models, the current state of the art, an evaluation of needed improvements, and expected advancements in this field.",
