竺可桢与东南大学地学系——兼论竺可桢地学思想的形成

On the Progress of China's Modern Earth-Science from Coching Chu's Contribution

在中国近代地学的主要开创者中,竺可桢以学术权威和学术管理者的双重身份做出了突出的贡献。为了创造一个适当的发展环境,竺可桢在地学体制化方面发挥了重要的作用,尤其是他创建的第一个地学系———东南大学地学系,培养了几代中国早期的近代地学人才。中国地理学界和气象学界的奠基者,多出自竺可桢门下。中国学者在引进西方地学的同时也在努力创造一个适合中国的近代地学体系。竺可桢地学思想的形成过程,正是近代地学在中国形成、发展的一个缩影。文章通过对竺可桢所受教育背景和学术思想形成过程的分析,研究了近代地学在中国的发展及演变历程。
