Demining Programme Office In The Falkland Islands - Technical Support 2010, Colin King, Fenix -. Insight
Global CWD Repository
A series of three reports were published by the Demining Programme Office in the Falkland Islands (Malvinas).
This report outlines the technical support provided to the demining programme during the Austral summer of 2009/2010. The majority of the technical support provided fell into two categories:
- Detection: activities intended to enable the contractor to establish their detection capabilities against the minimum-metal mines.
- Exploitation: examination of recovered mines in order to observe the effects of aging and assess their implications.

Study Of The Effects Of Aging On Landmines, Cisr
Global CWD Repository
Most of the mines that currently threaten populations were manufactured more than 50 years ago and many have been in the ground for 30 years or more. Despite the inevitable and obvious deterioration, there has been very little research into the effects of aging on landmines. In 2008, James Madison University (JMU), the Center for International Stabilization and Recovery (CISR), and C King Associates Ltd (CKA) began a study designed to understand the aging process and the range of implications for the various components of mine action. The two-and-a-half year study was funded by grants from the US Department of …
