In the process of readjusting structure and changing mechanism in goological work,mine geophysical work of china was cut down in,1992, and the amount of aerogeophysicalwork was also reduced. Nevertheless, the amount of oil-gas geophysical work dominated byseismic exploration maintained the level of the past few years and even somewhat incre-ased, and geotechnical and environmental geophysics developed continuously. In 1992, quite alot of new technical achievements were gained in exploration geophysics of China, and anumber of new geophysical instruments were developed, which included shallow numericalseismograph of high sampling rate, portable multichannel telemetering seismograph, civil engi-neering quality detector, underground pipelline detector, and high resolution-ratio neutron-capturing gamma power spectral logger. The aeromagnetic horizontal gradient system was putioto field application, and a set of new seismic, logging, electrical and gravity and magneticprocessing and interpretation systems or working stations with relatively high functional effi-ciency were formed. The study of new theories and new methods was intensified, and geoto-mography and its application developed rapidly, the application of model recognition methodssuch as neural net was extended, and progress was also made in the application of fractal andthaos theory to geopysics. Iaternational cooperation in such geophysical fields as deep crustalsurvey and oil-gas exploration was further broadened.
