摘要
根据当代盐湖科学研究发展的特点和社会的需求,笔者提出有必要建立符合盐湖资源科学的新研究体系,称之为“盐湖学(Salinology)”。它是研究盐湖体系的化学、物理和生物与其环境和资源的性质及特点,并推进其工程化的一门边缘应用基础科学。盐湖学的基本任务是用多学科的原理为指导,系统地研究与勘查盐湖,为人类与盐湖的协调及其科学管理和合理利用提供科学技术依据,为持续发展“盐湖农业”、盐湖矿业和旅游业服务。
Saline lakes have a group of comprehensive natural resources,including a large diversity of mineral resources, salt-liking biological resources and tourism resources. These resources serve as field laboratories which can provide data for the study of global change and mineralization processes. In traditional classification, saline lake study was part of limnology that studied the physics, chemistry and biology of lakes (W. G. Moor, 1975). Limnology, however, focuses only on the physical, chemical and biological properties of lakes,but fails to include the resource engineering concept. In the field of geological sciences, saline lake geology does not include the study of biological resources and ecology. Hence, neither traditional limnology nor saline lake geology could comprehensively cover the meaning of research and development of saline lakes. To meet the needs of development of saline lake research and society's demands,it is necessary to set up a raw research system that could be named “salinology”. Dealing with chemistry, physics, biology and their interaction with resources and environments, this new branch is a marginal and application disciplinary research and exploration of saline lakes, which provides data for rational management and exploitation of saline lakes and makes contributions to sustainable development of saline lake agriculture, saline lake mining and tourism business.
