Recently, the public welfare project “Innovative Display of Geological Relics Achievements (Pilot)” undertaken by the Municipal Geo-Survey Institute successfully passed expert reviews. The project’s outcomes lay a foundation for promoting geological culture in Beijing and have been assessed as excellent.
The expert panel listened to the project presentation and reviewed the “Innovative Display of Geological Relics Achievements (Pilot),” the “Technical Plan for Expressing Geological Relics Achievements,” as well as the videos “Crossing the Cambrian Strata” and “Tracking the Footprints of Dinosaurs in Yanqing.” After a Q&A session, the expert panel found that the project report was drafted in a scientific, detailed, and accurate manner. The technical plan is of guiding significance for popularizing the achievements in preserving geological relic, and the videos combined scientific, popular, and entertaining elements. The expert panel unanimously agreed to approve the project.
The project closely aligns with the context of ecological civilization construction and the enhancement of scientific literacy for the entire population. Focusing on the “Xiaweidian Cambrian Geological Event Profile” and the “Qianjiadian Jurassic Dinosaur Footprint Fossil” as pilot areas, the project conducts supplementary field surveys, actual profile measurements, rock sample collection and analysis, as well as 3D geo-modeling. It summarizes the basic characteristics, formation, and evolution processes of geological relic sites. The project produces popular science videos, playing a leading and exemplary role in uncovering the geological cultural connotations of Beijing and enhancing the geo-cultural literacy of the city.
The panel is composed of experts from the China Geological Environmental Monitoring Institute, the Institute of Geomechanics of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, the China Science and Technology Museum, and the Science Popularization Publishing House. Attendees to the evaluation session also included Level-4 Researcher, Xu Jixiang, from the Institute’s Basic Geology Department, Level-4 Researcher Zhang Mei from the Technical Quality Department, and Cao Shengli, Deputy Director of the Institute.
