作者认为当代全球日趋严重的资源问题,尤其自然资源方面的问题,重要原因之一是缺乏具有整体理念的现代资源科学理论的引导。因此,发展与建设综合性的现代资源科学的学科群,具有理论与实践的双重意义。为此,作者在阐明什么是资源科学的基础上,对资源科学及其三维网络结构的学科体系进行了探讨,即资源科学包括总论、各论及区域分论三大部分,它们组成资源科学完整的学科体系,并派生出众多的分支学科,构成综合的现代资源科学的学科群。从而为发展资源科学,改进资源管理及改革资源科学教育提供依据。

The author considers that the global problems of resources,especially of the natural resources are serious becoming more and more.One of the important reasons is lack of the holistic concepts and the philosophical ideas of the comprehensive Resources Science.For this reason,modern Resources Science must be developed and constructed,which has dual significance of theory and practice.From this point of view,the author has studied and discussed that what is the Resources Science and what is the disciplinary system of Resources Science.The“three dimensional network structure " disciplinary system has been discussed.The three dimensions are expressed as three parts of Resources Sciencse:General Principles,Individual Resource Branches and Regional Branches,respectively.This multi disciplinary system is a comprehensive disciplinary group of Resources Science,including Natural Resources Science.The knowledge of these disciplines can provide the scientific basis for improvewent of resources management and reform of education for Resources Science.
