About this scholarship

 

Each year the Research School of Earth Sciences (‘the School’) may offer two awards known as the Scholarship in Regolith Science (‘the Award’).

The objective of the Award is to support regolith-related research, especially important for Australian environments.

Funding for this Award has been provided through an endowment established in 2008 by the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Environments and Mineral Exploration – a joint – venture including the Australian National University (‘ANU’).

Regolith science incorporates the study of the weathered zone, including soils, sediments, weathered rocks, water and biota. Regolith science is multi-disciplinary and can include aspects of earth sciences (geology, geochemistry and geophysics), environmental science, planetary science, geography, soil science, water resources and biology, in order to understand landscape evolution, biogeochemical cycling of elements, groundwater and surface water resources (water quantity and water quality), impacts of human activity (such as agriculture, mining and/or urbanisation).
