Suggestions on strengthening geological intelligence research work

Scientific technological intelligence research refers to that on the basis of extensive collection of information from various sources and by means of comparison, analysis, synthesis, judgment and logical deducting etc., all kinds of information are then investigated; change and developing trend of state-of-art science and technology are probed into; conditions, characteristics and significance of those changes and progresses are deeply studied; inherent rules are analyzed; future developing trend is predicted; present and future level of such researches are estimated as well. Currently there is an objective demand of strengthening scientific and technological intelligence work. Three service objectives must be stick to, namely for decision-making, for scientific and technologic advances and for frontier production. In this paper, the author suggests the establishment of geological intelligence research centre within China Geological Survey and certain key fields should be put at the priority place aiming at to set up a new mechanism of geological intelligence research.
