当代中国地球物理学向何处去

在20世纪的百年中，地球物理学在经历了以活动论为内涵的板块构造和行星际探测双重革命的重大发展时期以后，当今正处在一个新的起点上.从全球地球科学发展趋势来看，地球物理学的未来面临着比以往任何时候都更富有挑战性，特别是在当今经济全球化和科学全球化的复杂格局下.显然，当必会展现出前所未有的发现和突破的机遇，同时也正在一个充满希望的新的转折点上.然而，当今我国的地球物理学却在不断削弱，并逐步入“消亡”，即面临着严峻的“危机”.在这21世纪的新时期，中国地球物理学向何处去?它面临的“危机”在哪里?其机遇又在何方?它在社会发展与科学进步的长河中占有什么样的地位?又扮演着什么样的角色?国人必须给予严肃的关注，以使其在中国地球物理学的发展和逐步步入世界科技强国的进程中，发挥其本能的作用，并做出应有的新贡献.为此，本文将讨论以下4个方面的问题：(1)地球物理学的发展导向和战略意义；(2)20世纪百年来地球物理学主要的重大成就；(3)当今中国地球物理学的发展势态与危机；(4)当今中国地球物理学向何处去.

Where are the contemporary Geophysics of China going

Nowadays Geophysics is at a new starting point, after it goes through the imporatant development period of dual revolution of tectonic plate and planetary interstellar exploration in the 20th century. The geophysics is now facing more challenges than before, especially in current complex situation of economic globalization and sciencific golbalization. Obviously, geophysics has stepped into a new era, an era filled with unprecedented discoveries and outbreak opportunities.However, contemporary Chinese geophysics is going to weanken and eliminate gradually, i. e. faces rigorous "crisis". Where are going for chinese geophysics in the new time of 21st century? Where are crisis that geophysics faces? Where are geophysics opportunities? Which position does geophysics take ini the long river of social development and scientific advancement? Which role does geophysics, play? Chinese people must pay sufficient attention to geophysics. Chinese geophysicists are willing to take up our due responsibilities for Chinese geophysics. These will shorten the distance between our level and the world advanced level and offer strong supports to our scientific and technological davancement. Several problems are discussed as follows:(1) The developmental guide direction and the strategic significance of geophysics.(2) Main great achievements of geophysics in the 20th century.(3) The developmental trend and crisis of contemporary geophysics in China. (4) Where are going for contemporary Geophysics in China.
