李四光和卡尔宾斯基金质奖章

J. S. LEE AND A. P. KARPINSKY GOLDEN PRIZE

中国地质学家李四光与当时苏联地学界来往交流紧密,他对地质学的贡献得到了苏联地质学家的高度评价。1958年,苏联科学院全体大会选举李四光为苏联科学院院士,并授予卡尔宾斯基金质奖章;该奖章是1947年由当时的苏联科学院和俄罗斯科学院共同发起的、对地质科学有突出贡献的科学家最高单人奖励,李四光是第六位获奖人,也是至2017年止唯一获此殊荣的外籍地质学家,他的获奖理由是:在地质、古生物、地层和矿产研究工作的综合贡献。李四光有两部著作在苏联被译成俄文出版,分别是1952年的《中国地质学》和1958年的《中国西北部的旋卷构造》,这两部译作对当时的苏联地质界产生了很大影响,极大地推动了李四光学术思想的广泛认知;"地质无国界",中国地调百年的发展历程也有着俄罗斯地学理论、规范、方法实践的烙印,在新的"一带一路"合作倡议和李四光学术精神传承下,中俄、中国与中亚在地学领域的交流合作将不断深化,硕果累累。

J.S.Lee(Li Siguang)has a close contact with the geosciences field of the Soviet Union.His contributions to geology was highly appraised by the soviet Union geologists.In 1958,the general assembly of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union unanimously elected J.S.Lee as the academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.The prestigious A.P.Karpinsky golden prize was established in the Soviet Union in 1947 to honor outstanding geologists and their academic contributions to the field of geology.From 1947 to 2017,20 Russians and 1 Chinese have been honored with this award.The sixth recipient,J.S.Lee,was honored with this prize in 1958 as the only non-Russian.Two of his influential books have been translated into russian.The geology of China was translated in 1952 and Vortex structure of north-western China in 1958.The two translations had a great impact on the Soviet Union geological community at that time.It greatly promoted the widespread of J.S.Lee’s academic thoughts.The century-old development process of geology survey in China also bears the imprint of Russian geoscience theories,norms,methods and practice,symbolizing geology without borders.Under the background of“One Belt And One Road”cooperation initiative as well as the widespread of J.S.Lee’s academic thoughts,the exchanges and cooperation between China and Russia,China and central Asia in the field of geology will continue to deepen and become fruitful.
