In CHINA MINING 2015, delegates were cheered by China Geological Survey’s announcement that it would release more than 1000 1: 50000 regional geological maps in batches on its official website to provide online service for public. It was China’s first release of such a scale geological maps.
As one part of China’s nationwide basic geological works, the 1: 50000 regional geological survey works aimed to investigate basic information of mineral,stratum, structure, magmatic rocks in the region and paved way for geological prospecting.
A batch of geological survey results and geological service information was published by China Geological Survey at the conference. 110,000 geological data service catalogs about mineral resource potential evaluation and basic geological information of each province and 93 latest marine basic geological maps were firstly published. Geological drilling database published online was expanded to 400,000 on the basis of 50,000 released last year.
Officers of China Geological Survey indicated that the 1: 50000 regional geological online map and 40,0000 important geological drilling data released online was a combination of Internet and geology. It made a big breakthrough in proving medium and large scale maps online. They wereChina Geological Survey’s major measures to share and make efficient use of geological information as well as to improve its public service capacity.
It is China Geological Survey’ responsibility to arrange and carry out unified, basic, strategic geological and mineral explorations for the public and provide geological information services. Amid the new normal state of China’s economy, China Geological Survey Laid more emphasis on geological information service and would continue to enlarge its service content, expand the scope of information service, extend service level and provide a coordinated online and offline service.
During the conference, attendance could obtain and store geological data catalogs about minerals potential evaluation and basic geological information of each province and latest marine basic geological maps via CD-ROM or U disk and may apply to National Geological Archives for more detailed data. The official website (www.cgs.gov.cn)of China Geological Survey provided online searching, browsing and downloading services.( Written by Zhangli / Liu Ya)
