中国发布海底元素分布图集,日本竞相开采稀土

中国自然资源部发布了过去二十年海洋地质调查成果,绘制了海底沉积物中数十种元素的分布图集,包括稀土、铁、锰和铜。国家广播电视台央视报道称,该图集覆盖渤海、黄海和东海,超过2万观察点的数据被描述为最全面、最可靠的地球化学数据集。青岛海洋地质研究所研究员窦延光表示,这有助于精准定位矿产资源并划定海洋保护红线。

中国自然资源部于周二发布了海洋地质调查成果,央视报道称该图集记录了渤海、黄海和东海海底沉积物中元素的分布情况。

该图集基于超过20,000个观察点的数据,被誉为中国迄今为止该海域最全面、多维度和可靠的地球化学数据集。窦延光表示:“通过[绘制]元素分布,我们可以……精准锁定海底矿产资源,减少盲目勘探。”他还指出,该图集有助于快速识别污染区和生态敏感区,划定海洋保护“红线”并管理污染风险。

图集覆盖中国内海渤海,以及位于中国大陆与朝鲜半岛之间的黄海,还有中日存在长期领土争端的东海,特别是中国称作钓鱼岛、日本管辖的尖阁诸岛地区。同时,日本正加紧开采稀土,一支日本深海探险队携稀土样本返航。
