中国地热研究的回顾和展望

REVIEW AND PROSPECT ON GEOTHERMAL STUDIES IN CHINA

回顾新中国建立以来地热研究的历程，大体上分为３个阶段：５０年代及６０年代为初创阶段，７０年代为初步发展阶段，８０年代以来为重要进展阶段．着重评述了近１０年地热研究所取得的进展，对大地热流测试及其地质－地球物理的涵义，地热系统分布的基本特点及其形成的机制，地热与地震的关系和地球动力学中某些地热学问题的主要研究结果进行归纳．最后，展望我国今后地热研究工作的开展．

This paper reviews geothermal studies in China since 1949.Geothermal studies in China since that time can be divided into three stages:1) 50-60’s,it is the starting stage of geothermal studies in China;2) 70’s,this is the developing stage in Geothermics in China and 3) The advanced stage of geothermal studies may be marked for the Period since 80’s.The stress of this paper has been put on the 3rd stage and the following problems were reviewed in detail:Terrestrial heat flow and its geology-geophysical implications;The distributive characteristics and the formation machanism of geothermal systems in China;Geothermics and seismology;Geotnermal aspects of geodynamics. Finnally,the direction of further developments of geothermal studies in China has been pointed out by the authors.
