Over the past ten years, remarkable progress has been made in geophysical prospecting, geochemical prospecting and iemote sensing work: new application fields have been opened up and extended, which have covered three great areas in geology, i. e. regional survey, reconnaissance of ore resources and hydrologic, engineering and environmental geology; a lot of good geological results have been obtained; fairly great improvement has been made in methods and techniques, some of which have reached international advanced level.During the eighth "Five-Year-Plan" period and the coming ten years, geophysical prospecting, geochemical prospecting and remote sensing should play their special role in such aspects as raising the level of geological survey, deepening the knowledge on geological settings of ore resources, improving the accuracy of ore prognosis, extending the exploration to greater depth and expanding services.In regional work, we should raise the coverage according to plan, carry out composite map compilation and deepen geological interpretation, thus givingguidance for solving some basic geological problems and conducting ore resource reconnaissance. In ore resource reconnaissance, we should systematically perform geophysical and geochemical survey in prospect areas of ore resources, pay more attention to anomaly reexamination, and raise our ability of finding concealed ore deposits and ore deposits which are difficult to recognize. In hydrologic, engineering and environmental survey,we should widen the survices of remote sensing and geophysical and geochemical prospecting, thus giving full reins to the role of these techniques.Technical advance depends on the progress made in such aspects as methods, techniques and equipments and the optimization of methods and techniques. In order to raise techniques to a markedly higher level, we should concentrate our research work on some most important subjects and timely revise technical standards, specifications and regulations.
