在21世纪的今天,中国正处于快速工业化、经济腾飞和科学技术突飞猛进的进程中,地球物理学面临巨大的机遇,展现出多维的发展空间,同时也面临着严峻的挑战.为此,国家战略需求和自主创新已成为中华民族能否独立于世界民族之林的最强音!在这前提下,地球物理学家就必须超越已有的框架,穿过地平线,全方位的研究、探索、揭示、发现地球内部的奥秘.必须清晰地认识到新世纪里地球物理学的发展导向,即地球物理学的前沿领域和深化研究与现代科学技术进步的制约;地球物理学必须牢牢地把握住向高层次的综合研究脉络方能有所发现与突破;地球物理学所面临的机遇、多元发展空间和挑战;地球内部圈层结构与大陆动力学研究的主体内涵和导向.
In the 21st century, China is just on the important time which the industrialization progresses fast and the economy soars quickly. When the world economy and science progress by high speed development, geophysics not only welcomes an opportunity with multi-dimensional development space, but also confronts with an austere challenge. Therefore, country strategy need and independent innovation have already become the strongest voice determining whether Chinese nation is able to be independent in the family of world nations or not! Under this premise, it is necessary for geophysicists to go beyond the existing framework , pass through the horizon, and to study, explore, reveal and discover omni-directionally the mysteries of the interior Earth. The research results indicated that people must clearly realize the development guidance of the geophysics in the new century, which consists of following four aspects. Firstly, the restriction between the front domain and deepened research of the geophysics and the progress of the modern science and technology. Secondly, geophysics must firmly grasp the comprehensive study to a higher level with a breakthrough thread can be found. Besides, the developmental opportunity, space and challenge of geophysics. Finally, the main content and lead direction for the Earth's interior structure of spheres and continental dynamics research.
