2020 International Conference on the Cooperation of Industry, Education, Research and Application was hosted by Jilin University on 15th September, 2020, and College of Earth Sciences undertook the Forum on Earth Science Theory and Technological Innovation on 17th September, 2020. There were 7 experts and scholars from the University of Manchester, the University of Queensland, Far Eastern Federal University and Mongolian University of Science and Technology invited to attend the meeting through Tencent Meeting. Also 6 experts and scholars from College of Earth Sciences who are interested in Quaternary Geology, Land Resources Management and Mineral Resource Prospecting and Exploration were attending the conference. Professor Shan Xuanlong, Dean of the College of Earth Sciences, chaired the conference at the time.
Professor Shan Xuanlong firstly gave warm welcome and thanks to foreign experts and scholars, and introduced participants from both sides. The foreign participants had a deep friendship and long-term scientific research cooperation with College of Earth Sciences in the past few years, they had been invited to Jilin University for many times. All of them hoped to come to China in the future after the COVID-19 pandemic.
After that, Professor Yu Xiangjiang, Lecturer Li Wenbo, Professor Ochir Gerel, Professor Kevin Taylor and Researcher Ma Lin gave academic reports on their specific topics, which are “Isostatic effects of Cenozoic sediments in East Asia”, “A multi-faceted assessment of degradation threats to peri-urban cultivated lands and its protection zoning in the black soil region of northeast China”, “Magmatism and geodynamics of paleosubduction zones in Mongolia”, and “Multi-scale 3D and 4D imaging of sub-surface reservoirs, lessons learnt and future directions”. Later on, experts and scholars from both sides discussed frontier scientific issues, such as research problems, research methods and future developmental directions.
Finally, foreign experts and scholars gave thanks to College of Earth Science for its warm invitation, and looked forward to the future exchanges from two sides. We hope to enhance our communication, focus on frontier academic issues and promote cooperation of industry, education, research and application in multiple research fields.
