地球科学对一个国家的经济社会发展有着重要的战略支撑作用。为了对国际地球科学发展态势特别是中国地球科学的国际地位与影响力开展多层次分析，通过构建地球科学发展态势“宏观—中观—微观”定量研究框架，从产出规模、合作网络、研究主题、主题热度和国际影响力等多维角度开展基于文献数据的分析。研究发现，2012年以来全球地球科学保持着较为活跃和稳步向前的发展态势，中国在产出规模、发文机构、合作网络、高被引论文以及国际影响力等方面取得长足进步。基于国内外地球科学战略计划与定量研究结论，从学科战略系统规划、国际深度科技合作、国际前沿科学计划主导、学科领域数据中心建设、新技术工具再研发和学科融合创新发展几方面出发，提出未来中国地球科学发展应加大中长期学科战略研究与系统规划、促进高水平国际深度科技合作与交流、策划发起中国领导国际前沿科学计划等。

Earth science is crucial in economic and social development. A quantitative research framework was established to conduct a multi-level analysis of international trends in earth science, focusing on international status and influence of earth science in China. The analysis encompasses macro-, meso-, and micro-level analyses. Based on literature data, this framework analyzes various dimensions such as output scale, collaboration networks, research topics, topic popularity, and international power. Our analysis shows that since 2012, global Earth science has maintained a relatively active and steady development trend. China has made significant progress in output, representative institutions, collaboration networks, highly cited papers, international power, etc. Policy recommendations are proposed for the development of Earth science in China, including strategic planning in the discipline, deep international scientific cooperation, leadership in international frontier scientific programs, the establishment of discipline-specific data centers, redevelopment of new technological tools, interdisciplinary research integration, and the value of economic and social development. These recommendations are based on domestic and international strategic plans and quantitative research findings. Examples include increasing medium- and long-term disciplinary strategic planning, promoting high-level international S & T cooperation, and initiating China’s cutting-edge international scientific programs.
