当代沉积学研究的新进展与发展趋势———来自第三十一届国际地质大会的信息

<title>The development and trend in the research of modern sedimentology

本文为笔者根据第三十一届国际地质大会的200余篇与沉积学相关的论文摘要综合编写而成。评述了当代沉积学研究的最新进展与发展趋势,主要包括:碎屑岩、碳酸盐岩及混合沉积的环境变化及其演变;沉积盆地分析与大地构造沉积学;层序地层学;冰川事件沉积学;全球变化沉积学;环境沉积学;资源沉积学;生物礁及白云岩成因;碳酸盐岩成岩作用等。重点阐明了现代沉积学研究应向多学科交叉渗透、多种高新技术的引用和多领域应用的方向发展。未来沉积学研究以人类的生存与发展所依托的环境、气候和资源为服务对象,才会有更加旺盛的生命力和美好的未来。

<Abstrcat> The present paper aiming to provide an overview of the current development and trend in the research of modern sedimentology stems from more than 200 sedimentological abstracts from the 31st International Geological Congress held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in August, 2001. The highlights include: (1) the environmental variations and evolution of clastic rocks, carbonate rocks and mixed sedimentary systems; (2) sedimentary basin analysis and tectonosedimentology; (3) sequence stratigraphy; (4) glacial event sedimentology; (5) global changes; (6) environmental sedimentology; (7) resources sedimentology; (8) origin of bioherms and dolomites; (9) diagenesis of carbonate rocks. The current research in modern sedimentology focuses on interdisciplinary integration and solutions with the aid of hightech. The future research in sedimentology requires the further understanding of multidisciplinary aspects of environments, climates and resources.
