加强深层次科学研究,使青藏高原地质调查的成果再上一台阶——大陆动力学实验室青藏高原研究的最新进展(代序)

Enhancing scientific research and bringing the achievements of geological survey on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to a higher level—Recent advances of the Laboratory of Continental Dynamics in research on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (in lieu of a preface).

近年来对青藏高原拉萨地体中超高压变质带的发现,北部与南部高压/超高压变质作用的深入研究,周缘造山带崛起时限和机制的初步查明,大型走滑断裂的年代学、运动学、动力学和定量研究的进展,以及雅鲁藏布江缝合带中罗布莎地幔岩新矿物研究的突破,说明要使青藏高原地质调查成果再上一台阶,必须加强深层次的科学研究。

A number of achievements have been scored in recent geological investigation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, including： （1） discovery of an UHP metamorphic belt in the Lhasa terrene, （2） great progress in the study of HP-UHP metamorphism in the northern and southern parts of the plateau, （3） preliminary verification of the timing and mechanism of the uplift of the peripheral orogenic belts of the plateau, （4） new data obtained in respect to the geochronology, kinematics, dynamics and quantitative study of large strike-slip faults, and （5） discovery of a new mineral in the Luobusa ophiolite in the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone. These achievements indicate that, to bring the achievements of geological survey on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to a higher level, it is necessary to strengthen deep-level scientific research.
