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
HARD COPY VOLUME NOW AVAILABLE - CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION
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 is being compiled, synthesised
and edited by CRC LEME staff. The monograph is intended to sell
for $25 - 30.
In addition to the basic data available in the case studies, the
volume will include 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.
Owing to delays in the publication of the monograph, the case histories
are being progressively released as PDF files on the CRC LEME website.
Downloading of the individual case histories is for personal use
only and subject to copyright restrictions (see copyright
statement below); the status of the case histories is provisional
(see disclaimer below) and there will be some
further minor editing and reformatting prior to release of the monograph
as hard copy.
