Jiwen Teng · Progress in geophysics · 2004
The geophysics of 21st century (major solid geophysics) are faced with a opportunity and challenge. The scientific problems of exchange of substance and energy, of the different sphere coupling and of the deep process within the Earth are the core domain in geophysicals study. In this paper, the author is discussing the following four problems: (1) The develop, deepen of geophysical study with restrict of progress of science and technology in recent time. (2) The geophysics most be development towords to the direction of comprehensive study in high level. (3) The geophysics of 21st century faced with a opportunity and challenge. (4) The deep thinking and intension in study for the structure of different sphere and layer and continental dynamics in Earth's interior.
