资源开发是加速青藏地区经济社会发展的题中之义。喜马拉雅山、青藏高原及其影响区约占中国国土面积的1/3,这里地质形成时代新,且在继续活动,地震频繁。掌握地质活动规律,是掌握这一地区成矿区域背景、提高采矿选址的精准度及安全性的保障。同时,青藏高原地质构造多样,有许多世界其它地方没有的特点,研究这一地区的地质情况符合世界地学发展的需要。在改革开放的新形势下,中国地学家与欧美及南亚等国同行开展 Resource development is to speed up economic and social development in Qinghai-Tibet area. The Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau and its affected areas account for about one-third of China’s land area, where the geology era was new and continued to be active with frequent earthquakes. Grasping the law of geological activity is the guarantee of grasping the background of the metallogenic area in this area and improving the precision and safety of the mining site. At the same time, the geological structure of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is diverse and there are many features not found in other parts of the world. It is necessary to study the geological conditions in this area in line with the development of world geology. Under the new situation of reform and opening up, Chinese geoscientists are carrying out their business with counterparts in Europe, the United States, South Asia and other countries
