Expanding Job Functions and Improving Service Awareness

Zhu Lixin, secretary-general of the Geological Society of China, introduced that in order to promote the major deployment of the society around the country’s innovative social governance system and the implementation of innovation-driven development strategies, the China Association for Science and Technology has carried out innovation projects and service upgrading capabilities for construction projects. The society with good reputation, strong development ability, and high academic level is bred into an internationally renowned model society with remarkable service achievements, standardized internal management, and strong market competitiveness. We will use this as an opportunity to deploy the project construction work in the next three years, give full play to the “locomotion” of traction, focus on reform and innovation, enhance comprehensive capabilities, reform of governance structure and governance methods, core competitiveness of scientific journals, and international influence. Strengthened achievements, technological innovation and scientific popularization of demonstrations of public service brands, national innovation systems, and construction of science and technology think tanks have made further achievements to ensure that project implementation has achieved results.

It is understood that the Chinese Geological Society has adapted to the needs of the country’s economic construction and has continued to expand new areas for the development of disciplines. In the 1980s, deposit geology, engineering geology, karst geology, prospecting engineering, exploration geophysics, and exploration geochemistry etc. The Applied Discipline established professional committees and held regular academic seminars at home and abroad to comprehensively promote the development of disciplines to depth and breadth. At the same time, a large number of emerging disciplines such as environmental geology, tourism geology, agricultural geology, geological disasters, mathematical geology, and urban geology have been established one after another. Since its founding in 1922, the Society has always carried out academic exchanges at home and abroad and promoted the development of geological sciences as the primary task for the development of the Society. In particular, in recent years, the Chinese Geological Society has conducted academic exchanges around the international frontier issues in geosciences, major basic geological issues, major geological prospecting problems, and major geological issues that have constrained economic and social development, and formed a series of academic conferences of the Chinese Geological Society. At present, the China Geological Society has 54 branches, covering almost all disciplines in China's geological scientific research, ore prospecting, and related fields. Each year, it conducts an average of about 50 academic exchange meetings at home and abroad, and more than 10,000 people participate in the promotion and Perfecting the construction of China's geography discipline system has played an important role in promoting.

The Chinese Geological Society has promoted national construction, national defense security, geological education, and discipline construction by holding annual conferences and major academic activities. First, it established the "Geological Science Development Report" system. Three volumes of "geological-subject development report" have been published one after another, which comprehensively introduces the development of geological sciences and promotes the development of China's geosciences. The second is to establish the "contemporary world geological science development report" system. Using the opportunity of extensive exchange of global geological results at the once-in-fourth International Geological Congress, the “Trends of the World Geological Sciences in the Contemporary World” was published, introducing the hot spots and latest developments in the world’s geosciences, and promoting the simultaneous development of China’s geosciences and international geoscience research. contribution. The third is the establishment of the “Top Ten Geological Scientific and Technological Progress, Top Ten Geological Prospecting Achievements” and “Annual Research Report on the Development of Geological Sciences of the Year” to comprehensively promote new theories, new technologies, new methods, and new equipment in the field of geosciences. The application will lead the development of geological disciplines and support economic and social progress.

The Chinese Geological Society has attached great importance to the study of the history of discipline development. As early as 1980, the Institute of Geological History Research established a specialized research institute. It has published the History of Chinese Geological Sciences and the History of the Chinese Geological Society and has fully tapped the West. The influence of modern geology on Chinese culture and modern industry summarizes the development history of China's geological sciences, and looks forward to the future development direction and goals and tasks, which has effectively promoted the great development of contemporary geology in China.

Zhu Lixin stated that as the basic work of economic and social development, geological work has penetrated into all aspects of economic and social development. With the development of the national economy, the demand for society has continuously increased, the scope of geology research has broadened, and new disciplines have emerged. The innovative development of geological undertakings. In order to support the founding of new disciplines and lead the development of disciplines, in recent years, the China Geological Society has successively established continental dynamics, clean coal geology, nuclear geology, geothermal geology, nanogeology, unconventional oil and gas geology committees, and overseas geological and mineral research branches. It has effectively promoted the development of the geological sciences and guaranteed the development and growth of new disciplines from the organizational perspective. In order to enable society to understand the important contribution of geological science and technology to the promotion of China’s economic development, to promote the selfless dedication of geological scientists and expand the social influence of geological work, the Chinese Geological Society has broken the boundary of the geological exploration industry and independently carried out national scientific and technological achievements. Selection work. Each year, ten geological science and technology developments and ten geological prospecting achievements are selected in the national geological survey industry and the geotechnical survey industry responds enthusiastically.

The market economy is a legal economy, and regulation and integrity are the foundation of economic and social development. The Chinese Geological Society has long attached great importance to the construction of geological work norms and ethics. In terms of geological work standards: In 2012, the Commission for Hydrogeology was entrusted by the Ministry of Land and Resources to formulate the "Code for the Survey of Hydro-geological Engineering in Mining Areas", "Code for Survey of Urban Environmental Geology," and "Guidelines for Emergency Water Supply for Geological Disasters"; non-metallic minerals specialty The committee formulated the "Code for the Geological Exploration of Face Stone Minerals" and the "Geological Survey Code for the Minerals of Andalusite, Strontium and Kyanite Minerals"; the Prospecting Engineering Geological Special Committee formulated the "Diamond Core Drilling Equipment Standards" and "Geological Core Drilling". Diamond Drill Specification Series etc. These specifications have promoted the development of geological specialty. With regard to the construction of academic ethics, the Chinese Geological Society has formulated a number of evaluation rules for scientific and technological achievements and talent awards, such as the rules for the publication of papers and the ethics of study style. At the same time, in the project review, the publication of the paper dealt with some issues that violated scientific ethics in a timely manner, safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of scientific and technological personnel, and promoted the construction of academic society's integrity system.

Give play to scientific and technological advantages and serve the development of society

With the rapid development of geological work, high-level, high-speed, and close to practical advice has become a new requirement for consulting work. The Chinese Geological Society, as an academic organization of the national geological exploration industry, has a large number of scientists who have significant influence. In order to give full play to the rich experience and wisdom of the older generation of geologists, in 2014, the Chinese Geological Society established a consultation consisting of 31 people. The committee, which includes 29 academicians, has also built a 300-person database of experts from different geoscience disciplines to respond to the current rapid development of geological work and to meet the needs of national, local government, and business consulting at any time. The "Proposal for the Development of China's Geological Work in the 21st Century" and "Establishment of China's Oil Reserve System" proposed by the Institute and its subordinate committee members have all been translated into national policies. “Study on Several Major Policy Suggestions for Developing Mining”, “Improving Production Resource Support Capability”, “Comparative Study on Land Management System in the Process of Urbanization”, “Study on Geological Work System Reform Practice”, and “Geology Facing Ecological Civilization Construction” "Strategic research on the environment," "Working proposals for further strengthening geo-environmental protection and demonstration of underground space development and utilization," and "Principle proposals for deepening the top-level design of the nation's geological work system reforms" have all been highly valued by the higher authorities. Advise staff on the full play of the role.

In response to the needs of enterprises and local governments, the “Report on the Study of the Supply and Demand Structure of Global Rare Earth Resources” recently submitted by the Society of Experts on Mineral Deposits and the “Research Report on the Long-Term Demand Trends in China's Steel” were recognized by the leaders of the State Council. In recent years, in order to promote technological advancement in the geological survey industry, support geological prospecting and economic and social development, and learn to actively carry out results transformation and application work. The training courses for the application of new technology and new methods in ore prospecting, development and utilization of iron ore, development and utilization of gold ore, and comprehensive utilization of tailings were promoted, which promoted the improvement of the mining and mining technology level in China and promoted technological progress in the entire industry. According to statistics, the promotion of “small-caliber technology” in China has increased the efficiency of drilling technology in China by 20%; it has promoted the “Karin-type gold prospecting model and mining technology” throughout the country, which has enabled China to produce more than 10 tons of gold annually. To today's more than 400 tons, becoming the world's largest gold production.

Zhu Lixin told the China Mining News reporter that today, geological work has run through all aspects of economic and social development. Geological workers have appeared everywhere in the sky, in the earth, and in the sea, and the geological work has truly become a large-scale economy with complete disciplines and work types. Construction of pillar industries. The Chinese Geological Society has attached great importance to popular science work and has established branches such as the Popular Science Work Committee, the Xu Xiake Research Branch, the Geological Tourism and Geopark Research Branch, and specialize in general publicity and product development. Through hard work, it has formed a series of brand popular science propaganda programs. The Society has held 46 consecutive events of the Earth Day. Every year, tens of thousands of people participate in activities throughout the country. Conserving resources, protecting the environment, and building a beautiful home have become people’s conscious actions. The National Youth Summer Camp organized by the Society has successfully held more than 30 sessions. Hundreds of thousands of young people participated in the event and received numerous awards from the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Chinese Association for Science and Technology. The “National Geopark Construction” proposed by the Society has transformed many barren mountains in the past into a “geological park” with a unique science function, which has opened up a new way for the local people to escape poverty and become rich. The local government and the people warmly welcomed it.

In recent years, the Chinese Geological Society has established jewelery and jade, biological evolution and geohistory, geological disasters, scientific and technological disaster reduction, rational use of groundwater resources and pollution protection, karst and caves, mine safety, and geothermal 8 teams of scientific communication experts such as resource development and utilization, shale gas, etc., led by their respective chief experts, actively promoted popular science propaganda, published two undergraduate books, “The Groundwater in North China” and “The Secret of Pollen”, and produced an animation. The film "Five-Step Hedging Act" "Rare Treasures - Diamonds". In particular, the “Jewelry and Jade Science Communication Team” formed by Associate Professor Guo Ying as the chief expert has launched a Weibo WeChat public platform, with an annual hit of more than one million times, guiding the public to rationally consume and pass on China while popularizing knowledge of geology and jade. Traditional culture has made contributions to improving the quality of the entire people.

In response to the problems in economic and social development, the Chinese Geological Society gave full play to its scientific and technological advantages and actively carried out social services. In particular, when a major natural disaster occurred, it called on all members to actively join the disaster relief line to participate in emergency rescue and post-disaster reconstruction work, such as the Wenchuan earthquake. During disaster relief, two branches were awarded advanced collectives, and more than a dozen members were awarded the titles of advanced individuals for earthquake relief by the State Council and the Central Military Commission; in 2012, serious karst collapse disasters occurred in Hathe Village, Liuzhou, Guangxi, and Weiyao Waterway Bureau in Guilin. Experts of the geological professional committee rushed to the scene at the first time to study and solve the problem of subsidence. In 2013, the professional committee was invited by the national earthquake headquarters to form an expert group and went to Ya’an, Sichuan to participate in the earthquake relief work; in 2014, the Yunchuanchuan karst mountain area The Drought and Hydrogeology Experts Committee went to the frontline of drought relief to draw water wells and repair channels. The Geological Disaster Committee actively participated in seven major geological disaster emergency investigations and consultation services in Yunnan, Sichuan Lushan, and Dujiangyan, and obtained local government and Old hundred The surnames praised that the geomechanics and geophysical and geochemical exploration committees also carried out social service work on their own subject areas and won high praise from the society.

Innovative working methods highlight ability levels

In recent years, the Chinese Geological Society has continuously innovated its working methods and continuously innovated as a means of serving its members. Its social influence has been continuously improved.

In academic exchanges at home and abroad, the Geological Society of China has newly added international conferences such as the Sino-U.S. Geological Society Symposium on Geological Sciences and the World Chinese Geological Convention. It has participated in all previous “International Geological Conventions” and has gone global. To improve the level of our country’s geological science and technology personnel; At the same time, we have learned to strengthen our awareness of serving international geological counterparts, and we have recommended more than 40 experts to serve in international organizations; for the past 12 consecutive years, we have hosted the International Geographical Sciences Federation organ publication “Episodes”. Thanks to the outstanding performance of the Academy, it has won high praise from the international academic community and agreed that from 2012 to 2020, the International Geospatial Union Secretariat will settle in China. This is the first time that the Secretariat of the International Organization has settled in the developing countries, demonstrating the capabilities of the Society. And the image.

In the field of popular science work, the eight geological science communication teams of the Chinese Geological Society have entered the community, entered the classroom, and moved toward the full range of television stations. The three-dimensional propaganda subjects are popular with the public and have a number of “fans”. Especially in the industrialization of popular science work, it has made a good exploration. For example, projects such as “National Geopark” and “Xu Xiake's footprint in the national tourism route of the alliance city” (now being inaugurated) have been established in various places, and local governments and The warm welcome of the people. In terms of the publication of scientific journals, the Chinese Geological Society has established the nation’s largest and earliest single-discipline journal website, the “China Geoscience Journal Portal”, with an annual viewing rate of 3.25 million, of which more than 20% are from the United States, Japan, and Germany. , France and other countries. In order to realize the goal of the English version of the Journal of Geology, the Institute has reorganized the editorial board. The first foreign editorial board is more than the Chinese Editorial Board. This is the first time in the history of the Society for 93 years. For this reason, the Journal of Geology has been continuously In the 11th year, he was awarded with the first prize of the China Association for Science and Technology Category A Journal and the International Influence Enhancement Plan.

In the field of talents recommendation, the Institute has established the China Youth Geological Science and Technology Awards—Golden Hammer Award and Silver Hammer Award, Li Siguang Geological Science Award, Huang Xiaoqing Youth Geological Science and Technology Award, “Double Ten” Geological Achievement Award, and Golden Compass Award. The selection of these awards has successfully promoted a large number of young talents who have become the backbone of geological undertakings. The Society also actively organized the recommendations of the academicians of the two academies, participated in the organization of land and resources science and technology awards, the China Association for Science and Technology Guanghua Science and Technology Award, the Chinese Young Scientist Award, the Matachia Award for outstanding papers and other awards recommended work, have achieved very good results .

Zhu Lixin stated that in undertaking government functions, the Chinese Geological Society is one of the first batch of 48 pilot units under the China Association for Science and Technology to undertake governmental functions. In accordance with the requirements of the Washington Convention that China has joined and the concept of lifetime education for engineering personnel, we have undertaken the certification of geological engineering majors for undergraduates. Since 2013, four institutions have been accredited for China University of Geosciences (Wuhan, Beijing), China University of Petroleum (Beijing), Chengdu University of Technology, and Jilin University, laying the foundation for the direct connection of Chinese graduates with the international market. . The Society will uphold the principle of international substantive equivalence, earnestly respect professional certification standards, comprehensively, actively, and steadily push forward the professional certification of geography universities, further establish and improve a standardized work system and certification procedures, carry out certification school training, and strengthen the The guidance of relevant work such as the evaluation report and the preparation of certification materials contributed to China’s early accession to the “Washington Accord” and the development of China’s engineering education certification, and made new contributions to promoting the international mutual recognition of engineering education.

Zhu Lixin finally said: “The construction of service economy and social development have a long way to go. We must promote the innovative spirit and dedication of our predecessors, give full play to the talented people’s advantages and cross-sector advantages, mobilize thousands of geological members, build confidence, and overcome difficulties. Actively commit themselves to the practice of geological prospecting and geological disaster management, provide resources for the construction of a well-to-do society, and provide support for the construction of an ecological and civilized society."
