通过对2011-2020年中国地质工作资金投入情况的深入分析，结合当前经济社会发展特点，研判了近10年中国地质工作的转型特点及发展趋势。研究表明，近10年伴随着资金投入的持续下滑，中国的地质工作结构发生了深度调整，旧动能退却并加速转型，新动能在需求刺激下蓬勃兴起，不同领域呈现出差异化的发展态势。矿产勘查始终保持中国地质工作主体地位，油气勘查有序开展，金、铜、铁、铅锌等传统非油气矿产勘查受冲击最大，石墨、铀矿等新兴战略性矿产勘查需求越发旺盛。农业地质、城市地质、环境地质调查、灾害地质调查评价与监测、地热资源调查等新领域迎来了发展机遇，引领了中国地质工作的转型方向。区域地质调查、水文地质调查、海洋地质调查等传统领域以保障基本需求为目标，逐步调整工作的侧重点和侧重区域。地质科技与综合研究、地质资料服务与信息化的发展稳中向好，支撑地质工作转型能力不断提高。

By analyzing the variation of investment from 2011 to 2020, the transformation characteristics of China's geological work in the past decade and its future trend are analyzed in combination with the current situation and demand characteristics of economic and social development. It is shown that with the continuous decline of investment in the past decade the structure of geological work has been deeply adjusted, with the old driving force accelerating retreat and transformation, and the new driving force booming under the demand stimulation. The minerals exploration remained the mainstay in China, and oil/gas exploration was kept in an orderly manner. Explorations of gold, copper, iron, lead and zinc and other traditional minerals suffered the greatest impact while explorations of graphite, uranium and other emerging strategic minerals enjoyed increasing demand. Agricultural geology, urban geology, environmental geology, disaster geology survey evaluation and monitoring, geothermal resources survey and other new fields ushered in the development opportunities, leading the direction of China's geological transformation. Regional geological survey, hydrogeological survey and marine geological survey were gradually adjusted to meet basic needs. Geological science and technology and comprehensive research, geological data service and informatization were improving to support the continuous transformation of geological development.
