Pakistan and China jointly launch new popular science works
Building Dreams Westward - Exploring Lead and Zinc Resources, Adhering to the Original Aspiration of Serving the Country
The popular science video with the same theme as the book, “Building Dreams Westward – Exploring Lead and Zinc Resources, Adhering to the Original Aspiration of Serving the Country” shows the audience the epitome of the hardships of Chinese geological science and technology workers in the “Belt and Road” exploration of lead and zinc mines, and uses a 3D animation model to demonstrate in detail and vividly This work introduces the formation process of lead-zinc deposits, introduces the distribution and future prospecting potential of lead-zinc deposits in the Tethys metallogenic domain located at the core of the “Belt and Road”, and describes the significance of lead-zinc deposits to local economic development. The video was reposted by many media after being released simultaneously on the six platforms of ScienceNet, ScienceNet Video Official Account, ScienceNet Weibo, ScienceNet Toutiao, ScienceNet Douyin and ScienceNet Station B under the China Science Daily, and the response was enthusiastic.
The two works are well-produced, telling about the efforts made by Pakistani and Chinese geological science and technology personnel to carry out international cooperation in the “Belt and Road”, serve local economic and social development, consolidate China-Pakistan friendship, and promote the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. More people have participated in the “Belt and Road” initiative and contributed to the friendship between Pakistan and China.
DG's Vision
To promote sustainable development and utilization of National mineral resources through accelerated standard geological, thematic, geochemical and geophysical mapping of the country. To build an authentic database of geoscientific information and extend its regional exploration work to detail exploration stage in potential terrain of the country. To identify natural hazards of geological origin, their monitoring and mitigation of their impacts and addressing core challenge areas including depletion and contamination of drinking water.
About GSP
The geological information is compiled and disseminated in the form of geological reports and maps. Geological maps provide a bird’s eye view of the surface (and subsurface) distribution of various types of rocks and economic minerals that are found in a particular region. These maps are, thus, essential for all future detailed geological works including, mineral exploration, civil engineering, soil surveys, land use and soil conservation projects. Worldwide experience suggests that geological maps on 1:50,000 scale provide the most useful information and meet the requirement of most of the demands.
