Download or read book Regolith and Landscape Evolution in Arid Australia written by Michael Anthony Craig and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study has developed a digital data-collection model and software for regolith-landform mapping from local and continental scales. The system has been applied to collect a wide variety of new regolith data across Australia. The model determines the content required in custom software extensions written during this study to add new capabilities to existing commercial GIS software. These extensions allow the commercial GIS software to collect new and suitable data for quickly making regolith-landform maps and atlases of regolith materials for large areas of Australia and for collecting data suitable for establishing the age of a variety of regolith materials. Research indentifies Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) as the best hardware on which to deploy, test and operate this extended commersial software.
