新十年科学大洋钻探——照亮地球的过去、现在和未来

摘要

新十年国际大洋发现计划(2013—2023)以探索深部了解整个地球系统为目标,围绕气候与海洋环境、深部生物圈、地球内部与表层连接、灾害与观测等四大科学主题,预测未来,预警灾害,提出了14个前沿科学问题.继板块构造学说掀起地球科学领域的一场革命之后,科学大洋钻探将触发地球科学领域新的革命.%The new decadal International Ocean Discovery Program science plan covers a 10-year period of operation and highlights four main themes, encompassing a total of 14 scientific challenges. These themes are climate and ocean change: reading the past, informing the future; biosphere frontiers: deep life, biodiversity, and environmental forcing of ecosystems; Earth connections: deep processes and their impact on Earth''s surface environment; Earth in motion: processes and hazards on human time scales. After the theory of plate tectonics led to an epoch revolution of Earth science, the new decadal scientificocean drilling has the greatest potentiality to trigger the other one.
