Quickening the pace of regional geological survey:its urgency and feasibility

Abstract: Regional geological survey is important basic work of a country. In recent years, with China's rapid economic and social development, adjustment of the deployment of regional survey work and quickening of its pace have been extremely urgent. Proceeding form the demands of China's economic and social development and the requirements of the Tenth Five? Juan Year Plan of the country and on the basis of an Analysis of the present state and Development Trend of nation? Juan wide Regional Survey work, this paper deals with the urgency and feasibility of acceleration of regional survey through relying on the progress of science and technology and adjusting the deployment of regional survey, as well as the targets and tasks of regional survey, and proposes the following basic thoughts: The regional survey should be put into the orbit of the all? Juan round service to the society as Rapidly as possible; in 2005 Priority should be given to the arrangement The and Completion of the 1:250,000 Regional Geological Survey in the blank Areas of the Qinghai? Juan Tibet Plateau; before 2010 medium? Juan scale The Regional surveys should be completed throughout the country and the first set of relevant Basic Geological series maps should be published. The paper stresses that to accelerate regional survey we must guarantee the quality of field mapping and adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts in work deployment. It is Necessary to rely on high and new techniques such as computer? Juan aided and Remote? Juan sensing Techniques to variously realize the Acceleration of Regional Survey and the informationization of the main process of the Regional survey should be Achieved During the Acceleration.
