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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989930164453,"sku":"NP9780471974543","price":379.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780471974543.jpg?v=1761785949","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/regolith-geology-and-geomorphology-isbn-9780471974543","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
