当代新疆地震灾害研究回顾与展望

Contemporary Natural Calamities Studies in Xinjiang——Retrospect and Prospect

我国是地震发生频繁的国家,自古以来地震灾害严重。新疆位于我国西北,地处欧亚大陆腹地,是我国主要的内陆地震活动区,也是大陆强震活动的主要场所之一。当代以来,党中央高度重视地震灾害研究,在防震减灾救灾领域取得了举世瞩目的成就。文章从1949年至改革开放前、改革开放后至2008年、2008年至2019年三个阶段,系统梳理了1949至2019年七十年间有关新疆地震灾害的研究成果,重点关注新疆地震灾害研究工作的历程及其特征。地震学人对新疆的经济社会发展作出了重要贡献,蓬勃发展的新疆防灾减灾抗震工作也推动了中国自然灾害研究的进一步发展。

China is prone to earthquakes and has suffered great losses in earthquake disasters since ancient times. Xinjiang in northwest China and the hinterland of Euro-Asian continent is also one of the main places of strong earthquake activity in the continent. The CPC Central Committee has attached great importance to researches of earthquakes since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. and made world famous achievements in taking precautions against earthquake and disaster relief. This paper mainly discusses the process and characteristics of the earthquake studies in Xinjiang between years of 1949-2019 which is divided into three major phases: 1949-1978, 1978-2008 and 2008-2019. Seismologists have made outstanding contributions to the economic development of Xinjiang,and the earthquake precaution and disaster relief measures in Xinjiang, in turn, promotes natural calamity studies in China.
