IODP中的海陆对比和海陆相互作用

综合大洋钻探计划（IODP）将于2003年10月启动。与大洋钻探计划（ODP）相比,IODP规模更大,钻探和研究范围更宽,囊括地球科学的诸多领域,涉及海底生物圈、地球壳幔结构、俯冲工厂和地震活动、古环境记录和海底资源等。从海陆对比和海陆相互作用的角度,分析我国地球科学,尤其是新生代地质学研究中的一些特点和优势。中国新生代地质演化历史别具特色,如宏观地形格局的变化,喜马拉雅山和青藏高原的隆升,西太平洋边缘海的扩张,亚洲季风系统的形成等,这些特色成为中国科学家参与IODP科学研究计划的优势。

LAND-OCEAN COMPARISON AND INTERACTIONS IN IODP

Integrate Ocean Drill Program (IODP) will be initiated in the year 2003. Compared with ODP, the scientific scope of IODP is much wider, covering more extensive sea floor and research disciplines, including deep ocean biosphere, mental and crust structure, subduction factory and seismology, global changes, and ocean resources. This paper will review some advantageous aspects of geoscience research in China, focusing on Cenozoic geological history such as the evolution of the overall topography of China, the uplift of Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau, the opening of the west Pacific marginal seas, and the establishment of the Asian monsoon system. The characteristics of the Cenozoic geology in China form the base for Chinese geologists to be involved in international collaboration during the course of IODP.
