周廷儒先生对新生代环境及气候演化的研究与学术贡献

Zhou Tingru's Research and Academic Contributions for the Cenozoic Environment and Climate Evolution

20世纪60年代周廷儒先生将研究方向转向我国新生代古地理,即自然环境及气候演化的研究,探索6500万年以来我国自然环境及气候演化的过程,为我国自然环境和气候演化的研究奠定了坚实的基础,并为探索今后在人为因素明显增加情况下的自然环境及气候演化提供了背景及可借鉴的研究方法,为我国地学领域开辟了新的研究方向。此外,还培养一些环境及气候演化的人才,促进了相关学科的创建与发展。

In the 1960s,Zhou Tingru turned his research direction to the study of Cenozoic paleogeography,namely,the study of natural environment and climate evolution.He explored the process of natural environment and climate evolution in China over the past 65 million years,laid a solid foundation for the study of China's natural environment and climate evolution,and provided background and reference research methods for exploring the natural environment and climate e-volution under the obvious increase of human factors in the future,opening up new research directions for the field of geoscience in China and making important academic contributions.In addition,it also cultivated talents for environmental and climatic evolution,and promoted the creation and development of related disciplines.
