地球化学填图的历史发展(代总序)

Historical development of geochemical mapping (in lieu of preface)

地球化学填图的发展属于勘查地球化学家的贡献。勘查地球化学家从发展局部矿产勘查至区域性矿产勘查,再从区域性地球化学填图至全国性乃至全球性地球化学填图。论述了西方国家、苏联和中国发展地球化学填图所走的不同道路,从而预见21世纪地球化学填图的标准化、多样化及其在解决资源与环境问题方面的重大作用。

Development of geochemical mapping was from local geochemical prospecting to regional geochemical exploration, and regional geochemical mapping, then to national and global geochemical mapping. Discussion is made about the evolution of aims, ideas and methodology of geochemical mapping in Western countries, Russian and China. The sophistication of geochemical mapping methodology including its unification and diversification will made great contributions in solving resources and environmental problems in the 21st century.
