of the Ministry of Natural Resources, China

The SinoProbe Lab of the Ministry of Natural Resources is the first of its kind in the field of deep exploration in China. Formally established in Feb. 2021, it is operated as a national lab, supported by the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences. According to the national strategic layout of science and technology in deep exploration, the SinoProbe Lab focuses on the areas of Deep Structure Exploration and Continental Deformation, Deep Material Circulation and Metallogenic System, Deep Processes and Dynamics, Deep Underground Space, Geothermal Energy and Carbon Storage, and related major questions. Embracing the big data of deep earth and deep exploration technologies, the SinoProb Lab will be gradually built into a center for deep earth exploration and scientific research in China and abroad.
