Chinese Geophysical Society

The Chinese Geophysical Society (CGS) is a world-class organization founded by the Chinese Association of Science and Technology (CAST). It was founded in Shanghai in 1947, before moving its base to Beijing in 1954. At present, it has a total of 14700 registered members, including 56 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering, with the members coming from 22 systems, and 1622 institutes, universities, industrial companies and government departments. The CGS has 14 special committees, 6 commissions, and 5 scientific journals.

Geophysics is a science that performs research on the genesis, formation, evolution, structure, and composition of Earth by means of physical methods, which includes celestial geophysics, atmospheric geophysics, solid geophysics and marine geophysics. Geophysics plays a very important role in the construction and development of the national economy and human survival, as well as life, through energy exploration, resource reconnaissance, mineral production, environmental detection and protection, disaster prevention and control, and engineering construction. It can bring benefit to mankind through developing modern science based on the observations, and properties and attributes of Earth.

CGS was the main reformative unit of Chinese Association of Science and Technology in the 1980s. The CGS is now sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the Ministry of Land and Resources China (MLRC), China Earthquake Administration (CEA), China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (SINOPEC), China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), China National Administration Coal Geology (CNACG).

Chinese Association for Quaternary Research

As the latest geological period in the history, the Quaternary is an important period for human emergence and the gradual formation of Earth’s modern environments. An important feature of the Quaternary environment was the large-scale cold/warm fluctuations of Earth’s climate. Especially during the cold periods, when sea level showed a significant decline, massive ice sheets and/or glacial activity occurred in Earth’s polar oceans, high-latitude landmasses and mountains at various latitudes. During the warm periods, due to the massive melting of ice sheets, the sea level rose. Accompanied by these massive climate changes, the ecological environment and biosphere changed. Human emergence is an important event in the Quaternary period. The environmental conditions of human emergence and the development of human civilization (i.e., the impacts of human activities on the natural evolution of Earth’s environment) are also attracting more attention. Quaternary research makes use of modern scientific techniques, based on a variety of records of environmental change recorded in geological materials to recover the evolutionary history of Earth's environment over the past few million years. Through these recordings we can explore the reasons for these changes, understand the impacts of Earth’s natural evolutionary behavior on the environment and human activities, and predict future trends in environmental evolution.

Quaternary science research work is a multi-disciplinary comprehensive study, which involves Earth sciences, biological sciences, mathematics, physics, chemistry and the humanities. The foundation of the Chinese Association for Quaternary Research aims to coordinate domestic research efforts, organize various experts, carry out joint research and make innovations in Quaternary research.

The Chinese Association for Quaternary Research was approved for establishment by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in early 1957. For over 50 years, this Association accomplished much in the organization and coordination of Chinese forces carrying out research as well as domestic and international academic exchanges. In 1982, the International Union for Quaternary Research accepted China as a member and the Chinese Association for Quaternary Research was called on to participate in activities on behalf of China. Numerous Quaternary scientific research results have been achieved in China. Quaternary scientific research has become a discipline of Earth Sciences with a degree of influence in the world and the Chinese Association for Quaternary Research has also made contributions.

Outstanding personnel are gathered together in the Chinese Association for Quaternary Research. This includes 46 academicians (45 academicians at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and 1 academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering). In addition to outstanding established scientists, there are also dozens of young scholars from the Yangtze River Scholars, 100-Talent Program and Outstanding Youth Fund.

Engineering Geology Committee

The Geological Society of China established the Engineering Geology Committee at the end of 1978 and the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Science was commissioned as the attached unit of the Engineering Geology Committee (No. 018 Document of Geological Society of China). Following this, from November 1 to November 10, 1979, the first National Academic Conference on Engineering Geology was held at the Suzhou Lumen Hotel. During the Conference, the first session of the Engineering Geology Committee was established on November 6, officially declaring the establishment of the Engineering Geology Committee, Geological Society of China.

At the establishment of the Engineering Geology Committee, the Commission Constitution was developed. The mission of the Engineering Geology Committee was proposed, namely, to unite engineering geologists, conduct academic exchanges, make efforts to improve academic levels, and promote the development of Chinese engineering geology. Its key tasks are: (1) to develop plans of professional and academic activities, provide advice on science and technology development for the authorities and run academic journals; (2) to organize academic activities and events for the exchange of experience, as well as promote the development of research and teaching; (3) to actively organize and participate in international academic activities; (4) to understand and provide dynamic academic standards and development directions for domestic and international science and technology through the organization and participation in international academic activities and other international exchanges; (5) to undertake the work assigned by the Geological Society of China. The Committee will follow the above missions, playing an important role in the development of the engineering geology discipline.
