摘要:

近10年来南海成为世界深海研究的热点。最为突出的是国家自然科学基金委员会支持的“南海深海过程演变(2011—2018年)”重大研究计划,我国科学家从中作出了突破性的贡献。这些科学成就的取得,很大程度是依靠引入“三深”技术探索深海,包括深潜、深钻和深网。迄今为止,我国深海探索的重心局限于南海北部,有待发起新的大型计划探索南部海盆,进而使南海成为全球海洋科学的天然实验室。

Abstract:

The South China Sea (SCS) has been the international deep-sea research highlight for nearly a decade. Most prominently, the major research program, “Deep Sea Processes and Evolution of the SCS (2011-2018)” supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, has made remarkable scientific breakthroughs with the efforts of Chinese scientists. These scientific achievements are closely related to the introduction of “three deep technologies” for deep-sea exploration, namely, deep-sea drilling ships, long-term seafloor observation systems, and submersible vehicles. Since the research activities up to now mainly focus on the northern part of the SCS, China can motivate new large-scale programs to cover the southern SCS basin, the efforts of which are expected to make the SCS a natural laboratory for the global ocean science.

Key words: South China Sea, deep-sea exploration, “three deep” technologies, marginal sea basin
