“玻璃国土”是在一个国家范围内对“玻璃地球”的称谓。这是一个地质信,息和地理信。息相结合并存储于计算机网络上的、可供多用户访问和开展决策分析的三维可视化虚拟浅层地壳。其目的是便于矿产资源的发现和评价,同时揭示地质灾害孕育背景和机理并实现预警和减灾。“玻璃国土”建设不仅涉及理论、方法论和高功能三维地质信。息系统的研发,还涉及获取深部探测新资料能力、新资料综合和解译能力的建设,以及矿产资源勘探、工程地质勘察和地质灾害预警等模式的建立,核心是地质信.息科学和技术。“玻璃国土”建设的目标与各地质矿产部门所进行的信。息化建设目标一致,但更系统、更完整、更完善,需要多部门联合行动。
"Glass Land" of China refers to the concept of "Glass Earth" within a national range. This is a visualized 3D virtual shallow crust being a combination of geological information and geographic informa- tion, that can be stored in computer network, accessed by multi-clients and utilized to provide decision a-nalysis. The purpose of "Glass Land" of China project is to facilitate discovering and evaluating mineral re-sources as well as revealing the background of geological hazards foster background and mechanism, and then eventually achieving early warning and reducing disaster. Construction of "Glass Land" of China in-volves not only theory and methodology guidance, high functional 3D geological information system devel-opment, but also the ability cultivation of obtaining new data in deep exploration, the ability cultivation of comprehensive and interpreting new data, and the construction of mineral resources exploration, geological engineering exploration and geological hazard early warning model. The key issue of this project is the pro-gress in geological information science and technology. The aim of "Glass Land" project is consistent with the goal of informatization launched by government, but more systematic, complete and integral joint ac-tions from different departments.
