Regolith and Landscapes in Eastern Australia
 Edited
by Ian C. Roach
This volume contains the proceedings of the first CRC LEME short
regolith conference Regolith and Landscapes in Eastern Australia,
held at the University of Canberra over the 21st and 22nd of November,
2002. The conference was designed to encourage young regolith scientists
to present their research to their peers from Eastern Australia,
and to celebrate the achievements of two of Australia's foremost
regolith professionals, Professor Richard A. (Tony) Eggleton and
Associate Professor Graham Taylor. Tony and Graham were individually
or together ultimately responsible for the publication of The Regolith
Glossary (Eggleton 2001) and Regolith Geology and Geomorphology
(Taylor & Eggleton 2001), the first of (hopefully) many regolith
textbooks in the future. Copies of the two books were awarded to
the best student presentations.
The papers contained within this volume catalogue some of the research
being done in Eastern Australia on regolith and landscapes throughout
Australia. The majority of the work here is written by young scientists
who are about to begin, or already have begun, their careers as
regolith professionals. Many of these young researchers are Honours
or postgraduate students within CRC LEME at the Australian National
University and the University of Canberra. Others are professionals
belonging to a range of Commonwealth and state research agencies
and universities including CSIRO Land and Water, Geoscience Australia,
Macquarie University, the NSW Department of Land and Water Conservation
and the Victorian Department of Natural Resources and Environment.
