The developmental process, research methods and contents of environmental geophysics are outlined in this paper. We have summarized 5 trends in current research of environmental geophysics:(1)the technique of mining and data processing are improving;(2)the research of NAPL is the important spect;(3)the forecast of geological disasters and monitoring and harnessing environmental pollution are still the main research field;(4)the techniques for special circumstances need to improve;(5)in the future the research of ecological environment is the new focus of environmental geophysics.Based on the analysis of the current situation of environmental geophysics in China, we proposed several proposals and countermeasures to promote environmental geophysics in our country.
