地貭科学研究在近十年来正經历一次重大的、革命性的发展,其特点是許多国家以相当强大的力量試图用实驗方法来探討和闡明复杂的地貭現象。实驗結果,迫使地貭科学中許多理論和观念必須重新估价,同时又发现和提出許多新的問題和理論。由于强調实驗工作,使地貭科学和其他理論和技术科学的关系更加密切,因此不仅在地貭科学中产生一些新的研究生长点和边緣学科,加强了它的准确和定量程度,并且对于其他理論、基础和技术学科的发展也超了促进和启发作用。如果說“杂交学科”是現代科学的特征,那么,現阶段的地貭科学发展是最好的說明。地貭科学属于自然历史科学的范畴,地貭科学两百多年的发展也主要以野外考察为基础。所以近年虽强调了实驗室研究,但野外工作仍然占很大的比重,不过现在的野外考察由于方法 Science and technology research is experiencing a major and revolutionary development over the past decade characterized by many powerful attempts at using experimental methods to explore and clarify complex phenomena. The experimental results have forced many theories and concepts in earth sciences to be re-evaluated, while many new problems and theories have been discovered and raised. Because of the emphasis on experimental work, the relationship between the earth science and other theoretical and technical sciences is closer, and not only new research sites and marginal disciplines have been created in the science of earth science, and its accuracy and quantitativeness have been strengthened, and For other theories, the development of foundational and technological disciplines also exceeds the facilitation and enlightenment. If “hybrid science” is the characteristic of modern science, then the scientific development of science and technology at the present stage is the best explanation. Science is a part of science of natural history and science. The development of earth science for more than 200 years is mainly based on the fieldwork. Therefore, although laboratory research has been emphasized in recent years, the work in the field still accounts for a large proportion of the total. However, field investigations nowadays are still under way
