The first part is the geography department before the establishment of the Institute (1948- 1995). 1. Establishment and rapid growth period (1948- 1965).
(A) the establishment of the Department of Geography
After the establishment of Northeastern University 1946, the teaching unit of the school has set up three departments and ten subjects, among which the department of historical geography belongs to the department of social sciences.
At the end of 1948, with the approval of the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast Administrative Committee, the school changed the department to a college and the department to a department. Because of the shortage of teachers, geography has not been established independently.
1February, 949, the University Committee of Northeast Bureau and the Ministry of Education of Northeast Administrative Committee issued a document, and decided to merge the faculty and students of Shenyang Branch of Northeastern University, Changchun Branch of Changchun University and Jilin Changbai Normal College into Northeastern University, including the former teachers and some students. At this point, the geography teachers in the department of historical geography have established a certain foundation and formed a geography teaching group, which laid a certain foundation for the establishment of the later geography department.
From June 65438 to July 0949, Northeastern University carried out a comprehensive rectification of the existing education system and school institutions. In August, the history department and geography department under the Academy of Social Sciences were separated, and the history department and geography department were established respectively. Due to the shortage of teachers, Zhi Jianzhong, president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, personally went to Shanhaiguan to recruit geography teachers. In September, Zhang Zizhen, Zhang Enhu and Wei were hired to work in the Ministry. Li Zhenquan and Liu Peixin graduated from the geography department of Beiping Normal University (now Beijing Normal University) and were assigned to the geography department. Dean Zhi Jianzhong presided over the first meeting of the Department of Geography, officially announced the establishment of the Department of Geography, and appointed Sun Yaming (vice president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences) as the Minister of Geography and Zhang Zizhen as the Deputy Minister of Geography. Zhang Liguo worked as the administrative secretary of the Department of Geography during her graduate studies. From June+10 in 5438, Ding Xizhi was employed by Shanghai Normal University and taught in the department. 1949165438+16 October, the school held a public meeting of the Party General Branch Committee of "Northeastern University * * *" to announce the party organizations and the list of party member. Zhang Liguo is the only party member in the Department of Geography. 165438+1On October 8th, Zhang Zizhen was appointed as the head of the agency department.
1954, Jing, and stayed in school to teach after graduation. 1952, President Chen Yazi was transferred to Northeast Normal University from the Economic Geography Teaching and Research Section of the Planning Department of China Renmin University, and first served as the principal in the middle school attached to Normal University. 1954, transferred to the Department of Geography. Yang Meihua was assigned to Dalian Normal University for one year, and 1955 was transferred back to the Department of Geography.
1958 the new geography building was opened, and the geography department moved from Heping west building to the new building. There was a demonstration room of Foucault pendulum which was rare in China at that time, and several laboratories with good basic conditions.
65438-0959 Recruit graduate students majoring in geomorphology and economic geography. The tutors are Ding Xizhi and Chen Yazi respectively, and there are 9 first-time graduate students.
1960, in order to develop a unique scientific research direction and fill the gap in swamp research in China, a hydrological swamp laboratory was established. Cai Chen graduated from the Department of Geography of Leningrad University, majoring in economic geography. After returning to China, he enriched the teaching and research strength of economic geography.
196 1, Zhou Zhanao, graduated from Su Maode, and stayed in the department. Xu Xiaopo and Guo Yiliang graduated from the Department of Geography of Sun Yat-sen University and were assigned to teach in this department.
1964, enrolling 2 second-phase graduate students in geomorphology.
Second, the period of turbulence (1966- 1977) Third, the period of recovery and vigorous development (1978- 1995)
Since 1977, three laboratories of environmental chemistry, environmental biology and environmental geoscience have been established successively, and some professional teachers have been transferred to participate in the work of the laboratories. With the initiative of Jin Lan and Guo Yongwen to hold an environmental protection conference in Jilin Province, in March 1978 and 10, our school submitted the Report on Establishing the Institute of Environmental Science to the Central Ministry of Education through the Education Bureau of Jilin Province (JIKEO [78] 13), and it is planned to establish environmental science on the basis of three research laboratories.
1978 On September 23rd, the Bureau of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Education issued a document (No.033,78), agreeing to establish an environmental science research institute in our school. The Institute of Environmental Science was formally established with the approval document of Jilin Editorial CommitteeNo. [78]202.
1985 12 17 has obtained the environmental impact assessment certificate issued by Jilin provincial environmental protection bureau with the joint efforts of all members of the Academy of Environmental Sciences, and is the earliest environmental impact assessment qualification and certification unit in China. Based on this, the Institute of Environmental Science can evaluate the environmental impact of various construction projects in China. From Heilongjiang in the north of the motherland to Dalian in Liaodong Peninsula, and then to Shenzhen, the window of reform and opening up in the south of the motherland, the preparation of EIA reports for major power plant construction comes from the old teachers who started their own businesses in the Academy of Environmental Sciences. This has created a prerequisite for the Academy of Environmental Sciences to obtain the first batch of national first-class environmental impact assessment qualification certificates.
During the period of 1982, due to the existing thermal drainage standards abroad, the thermal drainage standards of thermal power plants in China are still blank. Entrusted by the Ministry of Water and Electricity, the Institute of Environmental Science has carried out joint research with Shanghai Fisheries Research Institute, Haihe University, North China Electric Power Design Institute, douhe reservoir and other units. It provides a systematic scientific basis for putting forward the emission standard of thermal influence of warm drainage, and fills the gap in this field in China. The research on the influence of thermal drainage from thermal power plants on water ecosystem is at the leading level in China, and this research has won many awards such as the second prize of scientific and technological progress of the Ministry of Energy. Today, with the rapid development of environmental science research, if we look at the history, we should once again affirm the advanced, scientific and applied research work of environmental science research institute at that time. The early research work of the old gentlemen has made indelible contributions to the publication of some influential monographs and the successful declaration of major national topics in the next 20 years.
From 1978 to 1986, the institute has completed 38 scientific research projects, including State Science and Technology Commission, State Environmental Protection Administration, Ministry of Water Resources and Hydropower, Jilin Science and Technology Commission and Jilin Environmental Protection Bureau. , including 5 items at the national level, 1 1 at the provincial level and 1 at the university level. While doing a good job in scientific research, members of the society also attach importance to the accumulation of theoretical achievements and have published many scientific papers. 1982, which shows that it is at an advanced level in the field of regional water environment quality evaluation and comprehensive research. The accumulation of theoretical achievements in this period laid a solid foundation for the publication of some influential monographs after entering the 1990s.
The second part is the department of environmental science before the establishment of the institute (1978- 1995), the foundation and initial stage (1978- 1985) and the development and growth stage (1986-1).
The third part is the construction and development of College of Urban and Environmental Sciences (1996-2006).
Teaching reform and development of specialty setting, featuring honor achievements.
