A reseach report on develapment of instrument science for geophysics
地球物理仪器学科发展研究报告

Owing to its non-replaceable effects in some important fields such as national defence, resource detection, natural hazard monitoring and engineering inspecting, the techniques of geophysical instruments are developing fast. Around the word, geophysical instruments are tending to be multi-functional, portable, intelligent, visible, net-connectible and virtual. In our country, because of historical affects, the need of geophysical instruments is increasing fast, and on the other hand, over relying on foreign instruments has heavily depressed the independent research and production of our own instruments. In such an unfavorable circumstance, our geophysical technologists keep to do their unremitting efforts and gain some notable achievements in the fields of gravity, magnetism, electricity, seismology and radioactivity. Based on this situation, the policy for the development of our geophysical instruments should be as follows: by combination of suitable importation and independent innovation and cooperation among research, production and application, setting up a studying and producing system with syncretism of multiple disciplines, unite criterion, high level of craftworks and good quality of services after sale; paying much attention to the development of the instruments for the application fields such as earth exploration, navigation geophysical detection, ocean exploration, geological hazard monitoring and national defence and so on; making use of special function of academic organizations, converging the powers of all circles, so as to form advanced geophysical techniques and instruments with our own independent intellectual property rights for the key fields of national construction.
