Regolith science / Наука о реголите

Regolith – the mantle of in situ and transported weathered material that covers landscapes across the world – presents a major challenge to mineral explorers and natural resource managers.
The Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Environments and Mineral Exploration – CRC LEME, (formerly the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Evolution and Mineral Exploration) – was established under the Australian Federal Governments Cooperative Research Centres Program to ‘create breakthroughs in mineral exploration and environmental management, through generating and applying new knowledge of the regolith’.
Through its 13-year existence in partnership with industry and government end users, regolith geoscience research in CRC LEME has applied the traditionally disparate scientific disciplines of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geomorphology, soil science, microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, hydrogeochemistry, hydrology, plant biology and ecology to <...>
