3. Important measures for the construction of the teaching team

The introduction of double-employed academicians Academician Jin Xianglong, Academician Tang Zhongli, and Academician Su Jilan has strengthened the teaching team and expanded external exchanges and cooperation. In addition, senior talents are introduced, young teachers are selected to study abroad, the quality of the teaching team is improved, and the academic echelon is established and improved. In recent years, 3 academicians have been dual-employed, and more than ten academicians have been appointed as part-time professors.

3. Talent training

The undergraduate geology program enrolls 30 students each year. 75% of the graduates have entered postgraduate studies, and the rest have entered scientific research institutes, government agencies, enterprises and institutions in geoscience-related fields to engage in scientific research, management and other work.

The geological postgraduate program recruits 50 to 60 master's students, 10 to 15 doctoral students, and 30 engineering master's students every year. Some graduate students are specially trained by enterprises and return to work in their original units after graduation. The remaining graduates enter scientific research institutes, government agencies, enterprises and institutions in related fields to engage in scientific research, management and other work.

Among the past graduates, 3 have won the Hou De Feng Award and 1 has won the American Mineralogist Award; currently 3 are directors of the Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences and 6 are chief geologists of petroleum companies. .
