Abstract

Abstract

J.S.Lee's research on Earth System Science and structural geology are reviewed. As a field, Earth System Science was established by the 1980's. It is generally believed that this idea was first proposed by NASA. However if we look at J.S.Lee's early works during the 1920's to 1930's, we find that he had already started using the ideas of earth systems:tectonics, continental brake hypothesis, transgression-regression theory, etc. His "Astronomy, geology, and Paleontology" published in 1970 exemplified the ideas of Earth System Science. As another example, "Geomechanics" can be considered as the combination of structural geology, and Earth System Science and confirms J.S.Lee as a pioneer and innovator in this field. As earth system scientists in China we should cherish and further develop this legacy.
