China Geological Survey

The CGS conducts geological surveys across China's land, sea, and polar regions, with a particular focus on the exploration and development of mineral resources.

The CGS is responsible for publishing geological maps, reports, and other scientific publications related to its work.

In addition, the CGS maintains a number of research institutions, laboratories, and observatories that focus on various aspects of geology and geophysics.

[3] Many prominent geologists and paleontologists worked with the Survey in the early days, such as Davidson Black or Teilhard de Chardin.

In 1912, the Nanjing Provisional Government of the Republic of China officially established the Geological Section in the Mining Department of the Ministry of Industry.

After the founding of People's Republic of China in 1949, before and after the start of the "First Five-Year Plan", the country's economic construction urgently needed mineral support.

In addition to the geological talents trained by other departments, The total number exceeds 110,000.

There are 16 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 9 of them won the title of "Li Siguang Scholar", 33 of outstanding geological talents, and 58 of outstanding geological talents.

There are some main tasks for NGLC, like collecting, processing and developing the geoscience literature.

The platform aims to facilitate data sharing and collaboration among researchers, government agencies and other stakeholders in the fields of geology and mineral resources.

It also features articles and reports on technological innovations and best practices in the mining sector.
