Produktbeschreibung
Regolith Geology and Geomorphology is a comprehensive and innovative approach to a subject which crosses traditional science discipline boundaries. This book as been written by two authors who have 70 years cumulative experience in this area. Using the unique character of the Australian landscape and regolith, a country which has experienced weathering and deep development of regolith for nearly 1 billion years, the authors explore in great depth the processes that have contributed to their evolution Regolith study is a young science and much that has been written about it is speculative and open to question. A real understanding for the topic can only come from scientific investigation. This book provides a fundamental discussion of regolith properties and chemistry, and considers many landscape situations and features, linking the process to position, geochemistry and time. The central theme throughout is the critical role that water plays in driving regolith change and developing mineralogical variation down the profile. This book woulde be of use to Earth scientists, civil and mining engineers, environmental scientists, mineral explorationists, geochemists, pedologists, geomorphologists, 2nd year level academics, academic libraries, mining exploration companies and government instrumentalists.
