国际地质编图现状及发展趋势

随着经济社会的发展和科学技术的进步,以及地质工作服务领域的空前扩展,地质图件作为地质工作成果的集中体现和地质工作服务于经济社会发展的主要工具,受到各国政府及国际地质组织的高度重视,并出现一些明显的特点和发展趋势,主要表现为:由专业性地质图件向更多实用性图件发展;由单一地质类图件向多学科系列图件发展;由地区性、国家级图件向洲际性及全球性图件扩展;由地表地质图件向反映深部地壳结构构造图件发展;并在图面结构、表现形式上进行了诸多改革,提供了更多地质信息。

Status and development trend of geological map compilation in the world

With economic and social development and scientific and technological progress, as well as unprecedented expansion of the area of geological services, geological maps, as the concentrated manifestations of the results of geological work and a main tool for its services to the economic and social development, have gained great attention of governments of various governments and international organizations and shown some distinctive features and development trends, which are mainly marked by developments from specialized geological maps to more practical maps, from monodisciplinary geological maps to multidisciplinary maps, from regional and national maps to international and global maps and from surface geological maps to those that reflect the deep crustal architecture and structure. In addition, many revisions have been made in map surface structure and form of expression, which enables more geological information to be incorporated in the maps
