摘要
21世纪以来地球科学进入地球系统科学时代,地球系统科学逐渐成为地球科学重要的指导思想,对地球科学各分支学科产生了巨大影响。文中分别论述了传统地球科学时代和地球系统科学时代地史学的研究内容与任务;分5个阶段(启蒙阶段(18世纪末以前)、狭义地史学(地层学)阶段(18世纪末至19世纪70年代)、近代地史学阶段(19世纪70年代至20世纪中叶)、现代地史学阶段(20世纪中叶至20世纪末)和当代地史学或系统地史学阶段(21世纪以来)),简要回顾了地史学研究的发展历程及中国地史学研究的成就;认为21世纪地史学研究首先要重视不同学科之间的融合和交叉,不仅要重视地史学与地球科学其他分支学科之间的融合和交叉,而且要重视地史学与包括社会科学在内的其他学科之间的融合和交叉,其次要重视地球圈层相互作用的研究,将各种地质现象纳入地球圈层之间以及地球与其他有关星球之间相互作用记录与产物这个体系中认识,还要关注地史时期全球环境变化规律的研究,使地史学研究为人类与自然的和谐发展服务,实现地史学由地球科学向地球科学和社会科学结合的跨越。
Starting from the 21 st century,Earth science has entered into the era of Earth system science,which in turn has gradually become an important guide for Earth science,exerting great influence on all branches of Earth sciences.In the present paper,the research content and task of historical geology are discussed in both traditional Earth science and Earth system science.The research on historical geology is divided into the following five stages:the enlightenment stage(before the end of the 18 th century),the restricted historical geology(stratigraphy)stage(from the late 18 th century to the 1870's),the recent historical geology stage(from the 1870's to the mid 20 th century),the modern historical geology stage(from the mid to late 20 th century),and contemporary historical geology stage(21 st century onward).The course of historical geology development,globally and in China,are briefly reviewed stage by stage.This paper also presents the opinion that historical geology research in the 21 st century should,firstly,attach great importance to the integration and overlap of different disciplines-not only to the integration and overlap between historical geology and other branches of Earth sciences,but also to that between historical geology and other disciplines,including social sciences;secondly,pay more attention to the study of Earth sphere interactions,understanding and recognizing various geological phenomena as records and products of interactions among Earth spheres and among the Earth and other planets;and thirdly,focus on the study of global environmental changes in each geologic period,allowing historical geology research to facilitate a harmonious coexistence of manking and nature,and transform historical geology from merely an Earth science discipline to a cross-discipline of Earth and social sciences.
