Some thoughts on the study of continental dynamics and orogenic belts

Abstract: According to the demands of the human society and China's economic development, as well as the new development of contemporaneous geoscience, the authors analyze and discuss the academic concepts, starting point, scientific aim and key issues, as well as the main research content and methods about the study of the continental dynamics and orogenic belts of China, and put forward some suggestions. To face the opportunity and challenge of geoscience, the authors consider that we should formulate the strategy of the study of geoscience. In addition, according to the fact of China's continental geology, we should put emphasis on the study of the key scientific problems of China's continental dynamics, establish sustained research bases and analyze typical examples and make breakthroughs of key issues. With the study of continental dynamics as a breakthrough point, we should renovate the study of geoscience, participate in the development and competition of international geoscience and strive to enter the advanced rank of geoscience study in the world and become a strong power in geoscience, so as to make China's due contribution.
