Some overseas advanced studies of fluid inclusions in halite formed in Earth's surface environments are introduced. Those advances include not only the method to get information such as homogenization temperature(Th), chemical and isotopic(δD ,δ18O ) composition of water body , gas composition of atmosphere, and biological parameters from fluid inclusions in halite, but also their application . Those studies indicate that fluid inclusion in halite can be regarded as one of reliable materials for quantitative reconstruction of palaeoenvironmental conditions such as moisture budgets and temperature, for quantitative study of secular evolution of ocean and salt lake in the geologic period, and for further developing the theory of salt deposit formation. In this research field, the difference compared with overseas, potential advantage and its foreground in our country were also discussed.
