南极冰下及大洋地质科学钻探新进展与展望
Progress and Prospects of Geological Scientific Drilling beneath Antarctic Ice Sheet and in Southern Ocean
,
南极冰下及大洋地质样品对于认识南极地质构造演化、南极冰盖稳定性、南大洋对全球气候环境的影响机制等世界前沿科学问题至关重要.科学钻探是获取南极冰下及大洋地质样品的唯一技术手段.近年来,美国研发了系列南极冰下及大洋科学钻探装备与钻具,并实施了大量科学钻探工程.我国虽然也开展了南极冰下基岩取心钻探装备的研发,并成功在南极进行了应用,但与美国相比,仍有较大差距.系统梳理了国内外南极冰下基岩钻探、冰架下地质钻探和南大洋地质钻探所涉及的钻探技术和钻探工程.提出了适合我国国情的南极冰下及大洋地质科学钻探发展建议,主要为发展冰层/冰下基岩快速钻探技术、南极冰架下地质科学钻探技术和南极冰区大洋科学钻探技术,并开展相关钻探工程,以期为我国极地科技规划制订提供参考.
Geological samples beneath the Antarctic ice and in the Southern Ocean are crucial for understanding the evolution of the Antarctic geology, the stability of the Antarctic ice sheet and the influence mechanisms of the Southern Ocean on global climate and environment. Scientific drilling is the only technical means to obtain such samples. In recent years, the United States has developed a series of scientific drilling equipment and tools for drilling beneath the Antarctic ice and in the Southern Ocean, and has carried out a large number of scientific drilling projects. Although China has also carried out the research and development of drilling equipment for subglacial bedrock coring and successfully applied it in Antarctica, there is still a considerable gap compared with the United States. This paper systematically reviews the drilling technologies and projects at home and abroad involved in drilling beneath the Antarctic ice, beneath the ice shelves, and in the Southern Ocean, and proposes development suggestions for scientific drilling beneath the Antarctic ice and in the Southern Ocean that are suitable for China’s national conditions with the aim of providing a reference for the formulation of China’s polar science and technology plans.
