Regolith Landscape Evolution Across Australia
A compilation of regolith-landscape case studies and landscape
evolution models
Edited and compiled by R. R. Anand and P. de Broekert
While there is a continuing need to discover mineral deposits in
Australia, regions containing bedrock outcrops and in situ regolith
materials have generally been well explored. Therefore, the greatest
potential for further discovery lies beneath areas of substantial
transported cover, which are largely under-explored. These covered
areas are complex and future discoveries will rely on our ability
to understand 4D regolith and landscape evolution processes. This
understanding assists mineral exploration through improved interpretation
of chemical dispersion signals related to concealed ore deposits,
and aids environmental research and management.
This volume integrates the results of numerous regolith-landscape
evolution studies, not only from the many regional, district and
site investigations carried out through the Centre's activities,
but also from the wider literature. It was compiled, synthesised
and edited by CRC LEME staff.
In addition to the basic data available in the case studies, the
volume includes regional scale landscape models and weathering
and denudation histories of selected regions. It is expected that
this will provide a better understanding of regolith processes which
will enhance our ability to deal with areas of transported cover.
