Our capacity to maintain world food production depends heavily on the thin layer of soil covering the Earth's surface.

Underground coal mining disturbs both the overburden strata and the immediate floor strata.

Although most mining companies utilise systems for slope monitoring, experience indicates that mining operations continue to be surprised by the occurrence of adverse geotechnical events.

Sustainable Futures explores the links between population growth, diminishing resources and environmental challenges, and the implications for Australia's future.

Biogeochemistry, still in its formative stage twenty years ago, is now a young, interdisciplinary subfield of earth sciences, life sciences and chemistry.

Some pioneers in soil research such as Muller and Kubiena were as much biologists as they were soil scientists and the legendary biologist Charles Darwin was foresighted in recognizing the earthworms as instrumental in reworking the soil, thereby forming what he called "e;vegetable mould"e;.

Soil Microbiology and Biochemsitry enconmpasses the broad spectrum of soil organisms and the dynamic processes carried on by them, including ecological relationships in the biota, the dynamics of the carbon and nitrogen cycles, and microbe-driven reactions involving sulfu, phosphorous, and metals.
