1980年5月在美国拉蒙特-多尔蒂地质观象台召开的“地震预报讨论会”上,中国地球物理学家顾功叙讲了“中国地震预报的科学战略”,引起了与会科学家的重视。这篇报告的主要内容如下:在文中首先评述了两种对待地震预报不同的指导思想:一种观点认为,地震预报的实践必须经过基本研究并在实现准确预报地震的方法得到突破之后才能进行预报;另 In May 1980, at the Symposium on Earthquake Prediction held by the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory in the United States, Chinese geophysicist Gu Gongshu talked about “the scientific strategy of China’s earthquake prediction,” arousing the attention of participating scientists. The main contents of this report are as follows: Firstly, two different guidelines for earthquake prediction are reviewed: One view is that the practice of earthquake prediction must go through basic research and can not be predicted after the method of accurately predicting earthquake has been broken ;another
