Earth exploration and information technology are two disciplines under geological resources and geological engineering. It is characterized by using interdisciplinary research methods such as geophysics, geochemistry, mineral deposit science and isotope geology to study the characteristics of stratabound metal deposits and organic mineral resources, and provide theoretical guidance for mineral resources exploration.

Research direction of earth exploration and information technology;

0 1, Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System;

02. Geophysical information processing and visualization technology;

03, computer application and geoscience software development;

04. Research and development of earth detection instruments;

05, resource management and technical and economic evaluation.

After graduating from this major, you can engage in senior management and engineering work in government decision-making departments and universities such as China Petroleum, China Petrochemical, offshore oil and gas, engineering exploration, scientific research, production, teaching and management.

The Second Direction of Postgraduate Entrance Examination for Geographic Information Science and Technology: Geological Resources and Geological Engineering

The first-level discipline construction goal of "Geological Resources and Geological Engineering": Facing the national resource demand goal and the main battlefield of national economic construction, focusing on major strategic issues in resource exploration and engineering construction, in-depth study on the formation mechanism, distribution law, prediction and evaluation of solid minerals and energy minerals, and research on new methods and technologies of resource exploration, exploration, development and drilling engineering, geotechnical drilling and protection engineering under complex conditions. Environmental and engineering detection technology and geological disaster prevention and control research, output high-level research results, cultivate high-level innovative talents, and build important research centers and talent training bases for "geological resources and geological engineering" at home and abroad, so that this discipline will continue to maintain its leading position in China and catch up with the international advanced level in some fields and directions.

The third direction of geographic information science and technology postgraduate entrance examination: solid geophysics

A comprehensive subject that studies the movement, physical state, material composition, acting force and various physical processes of the solid earth with the viewpoint and method of physics. The so-called solid earth is relative to the atmosphere and ocean. The term geophysics was formally adopted in the early 20th century, and developed greatly in 1950s, and it was further divided into atmospheric physics, marine physics, space physics and solid geophysics.

The employment situation of master of geophysics is good, and the channels are smooth, which can be guaranteed to be above 95%. The destination is basically all oil fields in China and engineering geophysical exploration companies in various places. In addition, the upstream scientific research units of the three major oil companies also need graduate students majoring in geophysical exploration, but generally they need to submit their resumes directly, and it will be better to have a tutor to recommend them. Of course, many foreign companies in energy will also recruit this major now.

Graduates majoring in solid geophysics are employed in the fields of resource and energy survey, railway traffic survey, near-surface engineering survey, earthquake analysis and prediction, metallurgical mineral resources and marine land mapping, and can continue their studies.

The fourth direction of postgraduate entrance examination for geographic information science and technology: geological engineering

Geological engineering is two disciplines under the first-class discipline of geological resources and geological engineering, which is developed with hydrogeology, engineering geology and prospecting engineering as the main body. This engineering field involves mathematics, physics, geology, mineral investigation and exploration of oil and gas and solid minerals, hydrogeology, engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, remote sensing geology, mathematical geology, applied geophysics and applied geochemistry, computer application technology and other disciplines.

The field of geological engineering is applicable to the basic industries of the national economy, including geological survey, general survey, exploration and evaluation of oil and gas and solid mineral resources, large industrial and mining enterprises and water conservancy and hydropower construction, highway and railway construction, engineering geology, hydrogeology, geological environment and geological disaster investigation, survey and monitoring, etc.
