5th Sprigg Symposium

Regolith: Mineral Deposits and Environment

29 November 2007
The University of Adelaide, SA.

This event, hosted by the Geological Society of Australia SA Branch and sponsored by PIRSA and LEME, is held bi-annually in recognition of the remarkable contribution Dr Reginald Sprigg made to geosciences in South Australia. LEME Assistant Director Adelaide, John Keeling, was on the organising committee. It is fair to say that LEME regolith geoscience presentations from senior researchers and students (University of Adelaide) dominated the program. PowerPoint Presentations are available for download as .pdf files:
