Seeking fundamental innovations in geoscientific instruments to explore geophysical technology
Geophysical instruments are a crucial branch of geoscientific instruments and serve as the cornerstone of geoscientific research.They play a pivotal role in various fields,including resource exploration,environmental monitoring,and disaster prevention.Due to the development and initiation,China's advanced geophysical instruments have long relied on imports,severely restricting the development of domestic instruments.Although significant progress has been made in the research and development of geophysical equipment in recent years,there is still a considerable gap compared to developed countries.To fundamentally overcome these challenges,domestic instruments must get rid of imported equipment,enhancing independent research and innovation capabilities.This paper focuses on the development history and representative achievements of geophysical instruments in six areas:gravity measurement,magnetic measurement,electrical detection,seismic monitoring,nuclear magnetic resonance,and radioactive measurement.Additionally,this paper briefly discusses the combination of artificial intelligence in geoscientific instruments,outlines the main issues constraining the development of China's geophysical equipment,and proposes future development directions.
