摘要
在人类向太空发展,实施新一轮太空计划,中国"神舟7号"载人航天飞船、"嫦娥"探月工程圆满成功之时,中国地球科学家不得不面对这样一个现实:对人类赖以生存的地球内部了解的太少,直接钻探深度只有12km,涉及的仅仅是地球的表皮。可谓上天不易,"入地"更难。地球是人类居住的唯一场所,为人类提供了生命必需的粮食、水,和生活必须能源和矿产资源;同时也常给人类带来诸如火山、地震、海啸等灾难。通过深部探测,了解地下的物质、结构和动力学过程,不仅是人类探求自然奥秘的追求,更是人类汲取资源、保障自身安全的基本需要。近百年来,各国的地球科学家一直不断地进行探索,我国科学家也意识到必须开展中国的地球深部探测计划,才能解决面临的重大资源环境问题,才能全面实现地球科学的创新和发展。最近,国家启动"深部探测技术与实验研究"专项(英文简写SinoProbe),标志了我国地球科学的深部探测计划拉开帷幕。该专项(2008~2012)年总体任务是,为全面开展我国地壳探测工程做好关键技术准备,解决关键探测技术难点与核心技术集成,形成对固体地球层圈立体探测技术体系;在不同自然景观、复杂矿集区、含油气盆地深层、重大地质灾害区等关键地带进行试验、示范,形成若干深部探测实验基地;解决急迫的重大地质科学难题,部署实验任务;实现深部数据融合与共享,建立深部数据管理系统;积聚、培养优秀人才,形成若干技术体系的研究团队。
When the Chinese have achieved a lot in outer space exploration with manned space craft "Shenzhou No. 7" and Chang'e Project for Lunar exploration, we still have to face such a fact. we know only very few about the interior of the Earth which is the only homeland for the human being, with the largest direct drilling depth of 12 km on the very shallow skin of the Earth. This is to say that going down into the deep interior of the Earth is much more difficult than going up to the outer space. The Earth is the only place for human being to live, and provides human being food, water, energy and mineral resources which are necessary for life. Meanwhile, the Earth also brings geo-hazards like volcanic eruption, earthquake and Tsunami. To know the components, structures and dynamic processes in the deep interior of the Earth through deep drilling and geochemical and geophysical explorations, is not only the pursuit of human being on knowledge of natural secrets, but also the basic requirement of human being on resources and security. The Chinese geologists recognized that, it is very necessary to do wide and thorough exploration of the deep interior beneath the Chinese continent, to solve the key problems on resources and environment. The recently started National Scientific Program of China titled as " Deep Exploration Technology and Experimentation" (ab. as SinoProbe), indicates the beginning of the Chinese deep exploration era. The purpose of the Sinoprobe (2008-2012) is to facilitate the integration of new exploration technologies and the latest experimental techniques in the area of deep-crustal exploration, to explore the composition, structure and evolution of the crust and mantle lithosphere beneath continental China, to better understand the physical processes controlling the formation and distribution of large-scale mineralization, and to gain deeper insights into the mechanisms causing earthquakes and volcanism. Sinoprobe is also to provide scientific data and information needed to discover new sources of energy and metals, to predict geological disasters, and to mitigate the damage associated with those catastrophic events. This program promotes international cooperation while using the latest detection equipment, devices, and technology, and while educating world-class young scientists to ensure the continuous and sustainable implementation and execution of the planned long-term deep exploration program in China.
