Only 3 places in the world!Academician Yuan Daoxian of Southwest University won this international award

Guilin landscapes, Shilin, Yunnan, Wulong in Chongqing, Libo, Guizhou ... These beautiful scenery made by the Kaster land -like ghost ax may be the "poem and far away" you yearn for, but you may not know that they have been included in the world natural heritage. Do not open a person's credit. He is the leader of the discipline of geology and rocky geology in my country.

On July 2, the reporter learned from Southwest University that at the EUROKARST2022 conference on Malaga University in Spain recently, Yuan Daoxian, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at the School of Geographical Sciences of Southwest University, won the "50 Years of Achievement Award" for the Rock -soluble Committee of the International Hydrological Geology Association. Become one of the three scientists in the world.

Yuan Dao first was a well -known international geologist, hydrological geological scientist, and konzon. He was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in November 1991 and was the first academician in the field of rock -soluble geology in my country.

In 1933, Yuan Dao was born in Xiangmen, Zhuji, Zhejiang Province. He was a child of the Anti -Japanese War. His father came to Rong Rong. Instead, he strengthened his determination to study.

In the spring of 1950, Xie Jiarong, a well -known geologist, set up Nanjing Geological Exploration College. Yuan Dao first applied for the exam with the idea of ​​"what the country needs, what am I learned", and since then with the research of the rock -soluble geological research.

Wading mountains and wading and field surveys are the essential part of Yuan Daoxian's geological work. The hammer, compass, and magnifying glass are the "three -piece set" that has always accompanied Yuan Daoxian's geological research work. Not only did he accompany him for more than 20 years, the field -line hydropological exploration work, but also accompanied him to propose the theory of rock -soluble dynamics, presided over multiple international projects in the field of rock solubility, so that my country's rock -soluble studies were at the forefront of the world academic, and it also promoted the global rocky dissolved solubility. Research.

In the 1950s, when he conducted a regional hydrological survey in the Yarlung Tibetan River, he was steep and there was no way to go. Only the granite with severe weathering on the surface moved forward, and he almost slid into the surging river water. In the 1960s, he served as the deputy chief of the line survey team of 200 kilometers south of Jinsha Railway in Chengkun Railway. He surveyed hundreds of work sites to investigate and investigate hidden geological hazards and ensure that the Chengkun Railway was successfully completed and opened to traffic.

In 1978, the China Geological Survey and the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences established the Research Institute of Rock -soluble Geological at Guilin, Guangxi, and Yuan Daoxian served as the first director. During this period, he proposed a large number of high -level results such as rock -soluble groundwater water content unevenness, and also proposed a large number of high -level results such as the basic characteristics of rock -soluble dynamics and the basic characteristics of rock solvents in China, and pushed China's rock -soluble research to a new height.

Yuan Daoxian attaches great importance to the international cooperation of rocky research, and uses his own advantages of English and geological majors to go abroad and traverse 45 countries around the world. Since the 1990s, he has continuously hosted many international projects in the field of rock -soluble studies, which has made my country's rock -soluble studies at the forefront of the world's academic academic, and has also promoted global rocky research.

In 1980, Yuan Dao went to Yugoslavia to investigate, which became the starting point of China's rocky research to the world. In addition, he also hosted a number of Sino -US cooperative research projects, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Ministry of Education's PhD project, the geological survey project of the Ministry of Land and Resources, and the key projects of the Chongqing Municipal Science and Technology Commission.

"my country is a rare 'natural rock -soluble archives' in the world. With such a large treasure house, we should make greater contributions to the world's rock solubility." The "International Geological Comparison Plan for Rock dissolving, and has been approved by many national experts. He was elected as the chairman of the International Working Group. Under the proposal of Yuan Daoxian, after the unremitting efforts of all parties, in 2008, the International Research Center settled in Guilin. This was the first local science research center in my country that was authorized by the United Nations.

Not only that, since 2005, Yuan Daoxian has actively promoted Chongqing Wulongkarst, Shilin, Yunnan Shilin, and Licokuster, Yunnan, and reported the "Southern Karster" World Natural Heritage Sita in June 2007. Since 2012, he has made every effort to promote the second batch of "Southern Karst" World Natural Heritage Project in Kim Foshan and Guizhou, Guizhou, Guizhou, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Guangxi Huanjiang. In June 2014, as the expansion of the "Karst in South China" project, the "Second Phase of the Southern China Karster" project was successfully selected into the World Natural Heritage at the 38th World Heritage Conference.

Yuan Daoxian, 89, has already reached the age of heaven, and Yuan Daoxian, full of silver hair, starts working early every morning. In 70 years, he thought about the problem of rock solubility.

According to Southwest University, Professor Yuan Daoxian also takes students to the geological base for inspection every year.For decades, the study of rocky environmental studies based on Professor Yuan Daoxian as an academic leader In the process of solving various engineering geology, hydrological geology, ecological environment, and regional development in the solution of rock -soluble areas.It has formed unique research features.Making major achievements in theoretical and application fields has greatly enriched the theory of rock -soluble disciplines, and provided useful ideas and methods to solve the most urgent rock -soluble resources and environment issues facing the world.Source: Chongqing Daily Client, Science and Technology Daily
