This comprehensive reference will enable recent geology, geography and soil science graduates working with regolith materials and postgraduate students to acquire a sound background in aspects of regolith geoscience. It indicates how regolith is developed from parental rocks and emphasises the importance of chemical, physical, water and biological processes in regolith formation.

Keith Scott is an Honorary Research Fellow at CSIRO Exploration and Mining and a Visiting Fellow at RSES, ANU. He has been studying weathering for the past 35 years with the aim of developing better methods of geochemical exploration for base metal and Au deposits by understanding the processes involved during weathering. Colin Pain is a Senior Regolith Geoscientist at Geoscience Australia and Adjunct Associate at the University of Canberra. He is the co-author of a previous book on regolith, soils and landforms. His research over the last decade has emphasised the relationship between landforms and regolith processes, especially as applied to natural resource management.
