探索叶连俊先生理论创新之路

Investigation of the Way along which Master Ye Lianjun Achieved His Innovation

叶连俊先生是《沉积学报》创办人和第一任主编,是我国沉积学的开拓者和奠基人。本文把叶连俊先生沉积成矿理论研究的主线概括为三个环节:成矿来源—成矿作用过程—成矿预测。其中,"外生矿床陆源汲取成矿论"侧重强调成矿来源问题,"工业磷块岩物理富集成矿说"、"沉积矿床多因素多阶段成矿论"和"生物有机质成矿说"侧重强调成矿作用过程与因素,而"沉积矿床成矿时代的地史意义"则侧重强调成矿预测问题。文中指出,叶先生理论创新的工作基础主要有两条,一是他的新思想来自对研究对象的认真观察,二是他的新理论来自对表观现象的深入思考。叶先生的理论创新之路告诉我们,取得理论创新需精于野外观察,善于总结提高,敢于挑战传统和勤于超前思考。

Master Ye Lianjun is the first Editor-in-Chief of the journal of “Acta Sedimentologica Sinica”. He set up not only the journal, but also sedimentology of China. The main chain of the sedimentary ore forming theory includes three links： sources of ore-forming materials, ore-forming processes, and mine forecast. “Theory of imbibitions of terrestrial weathering products” emphasized the sources of ore-forming materials; “theory of physical enrichment for genesis of industrial phosphorite deposits”, “theory of composite-process and poly-episodic aspect of sedimentary mineral deposits”, and “theory of biomineralization” emphasized the ore-forming processes; and “historic-geological significance of sedimentary ore genetic epochs” emphasized the way of mine forecast. The foundation for Master Ye Lianjun to achieve his innovation is state-in-art observation and deeply thought. We should learn from him doing our best to observe carefully, good at in-time summary, dare to challenge old idea, and think ahead.
