地貌过程研究回顾与展望

地貌学是现代地理科学的一个重要分支学科。本文对中国科学院地理科学与资源研究所建所以来在地貌研究领域的主要研究成果进行了综述,包括河流地貌、黄土高原与坡地地貌、青藏高原及南极地貌与第四纪、喀斯特与旅游地貌、地貌实验与模拟、地貌制图共六个方面,对地理资源所地貌研究团队目前的研究方向进行了介绍,并就提高地理资源所地貌研究在学科发展和服务国家建设中的作用提出了建议。

Retrospect and prospect of geomorphology in IGSNRR, CAS

Geomorphology has been a main subject of the modern geography, and it has been regarded as one of the mainstay subjects in the Institute of Geography (now, the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research), CAS. The studies done by the geomorphologists in the institute have made a great contribution to national economic construction as well as to the knowledge of geomorphology. This article makes a general review on the main progress in geomorphology made by the geomorphologists in the institute since the institute was founded, including the progress in the fields of fluvial geomorphology, Loess Plateau and slope geomorphology, Tibet and Antarctic landforms and Quaternary, karst and tourism geomorphology, experiments and simulations of landform processes, and cartography of landforms. The existing Department of Geomorphology and Watershed Processes in the institute focuses on studies of slope processes and slope reclamation, sediment erosion and control in watersheds, sediment transport and river channel changes, land-ocean interactions in estuaries, Simulation of dynamic landform systems, karst landform and hydrochemical processes, regional and applied geomorphology. Some suggestions are proposed for improving the roles of the department in developing the geomorphologic sciences and serving the national economic construction.
