Research


The academy conducts scientific research on various aspects of geology and geophysics, such as the analytic and exploration techniques of mineral deposit, hydrogeology, engineering geology, environmental geology, karst geology, exploration geophysics and geochemistry.[1]


It is also active in research on paleontology, and was involved in identification of new dinosaurs, including Zhenyuanlong,[2]Xixiasaurus,[3] and a new type of Tyrannosaur Qianzhousaurus.[4] as well as other animals such as Castorocauda[5] and Rugosodon.[6]
