对于即将到来的新的世纪，海洋地质学在解决全球变化研究重大问题中，将出现重大理论上的突破， 这就是 Ｆｌｉｎｔ 所预言的“地球动力第三理论”。而在解决困扰人类的环境、资源两大问题中，地学为社会服务将是我们追求的目标。 For the new century to come, marine geology will make major theoretical breakthroughs in the major issues concerning the study of global change. This is the third theory of geodynamics predicted by Flint. However, in solving two major problems that plague mankind’s environment and resources, geosciences will serve the society and will be our goal.
