Analysis of marine geology backgroundand its inspiration for the geological majorsin vocational education
Geological exploration industry is an important support industry in China.The cultivation of high-quality pro-fessional and skilled talents in geology will provide important support for the development of geological exploration industry,the promotion of urban construction,and even the guarantee of national resource security.On the other hand,as a professional field of exploration that has attracted much attention in the 21 st century,marine geology has also demonstrated its unique status in the field of earth science.Although there are some differences in education and teaching methods between them,the goal is to cultivate comprehensive talents in the geological field and then promote the continuous development of the geological field.The strong practicality,interdisciplinary and broad coverage of marine geology can provide new educational philosophy and ide-as for the cultivation of professional talents in geology,thereby improving the employment competitiveness of professional edu-cation in geology and making students more advantageous in the future employment process.Based on these,this article analy-zes the characteristics of marine geology majors,the development of marine geology,the research content and status of marine geology and its majors.It analyzes the cross-permeation and mutual promotion among various disciplines and marine geology,fully demonstrating the characteristics and advantages of marine geology majors.Finally,it further deduces the future develop-ment trend of marine geology and its enlightenment to the professional education of geology,aiming to provide strong support for the future development of professional education in geology.
