Book Description
"The primary objective of this thesis was to understand the mineralogical and spectral properties of the regolith materials in the White Dam area. This was undertaken by the utilisation of remotely sensed data, proximal spectral techniques and XRD analyses. A major component of the work involved the construction of a regolith-landform map of the region and the validation of the remotely-sensed data that was used in its creation. The ultimate goal of the research was to advance hyperspectral processing and interpretation methods in regolith-dominated terrains."--p. 321.
Regolith Science

ISBN: 0643099964
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
This comprehensive reference on the fundamentals of regolith geoscience describes how regolith is developed from parental rocks and emphasises the importance of chemical, physical, water and biological processes in regolith formation. It provides details for mapping regolith landforms, as well as objective information on applications in mineral exploration and natural resource management. Regolith Science also provides a concise history of weathering through time in Australia. It includes previously unpublished information on elemental abundances in regolith materials along with detailed information on soil degradation processes such as acid sulfate soils. Written by experts in the field, Regolith Science summarises research carried out over a 13-year period within the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Environments and Mineral Exploration. This book will be a valuable resource for scientists and graduate/postgraduate students in geology, geography and soil science, professionals in the exploration industry and natural resources management. This paperback edition is a reprint of the original hardback published in October 2008.

Regolith, Soils and Landforms
Author: Cliff OllierPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Regolith is the layer of broken and unconsolidated rock and soil material that forms the surface of the land and covers the bedrock nearly everywhere. An understanding of its properties and structure is very important in topics such as groundwater supply, soil conservation and exploration efforts for economic materials. Regolith, Soils and Landforms is a manual for students, professionals and researchers concerned with the practical examination and analysis of earth surface materials in the field. The text describes many economic aspects of regolith studies, such as the formation of mineral deposits, the importance of weathering zones and how the chemistry of regolith affects human health. Presenting a new view of the geological history of the earth, it places emphasis on the formation and destruction of regolith materials and provides a challenge for established concepts in landscape evolution. It will be an essential text to a wide range of readership including students of Geology, Geomorphology, Geography, Agriculture and Engineering as well as professionals dealing with regolith in their own work.
