Abstract

Why should a conference on Australian regolith pay attention to the significance of extraterrestrial regolith? There are several reasons. First, historically regolith geology has never been tied to one planet and has received considerable developmental impetus from studying the regolith of other planets. Secondly, terrestrial regolith can provide an analogue for that found on other planets, especially Mars. This is
