🛑Warm Reminder ：
Port Island is located in a remote location and has rugged terrain. Currently, there are no piers or infrastructure on the island, and there are many submerged rocks along the coast, making it difficult for vessels to land on Port Island. For safety reasons, the public should not go ashore on Port Island.

香港地質學會GSHK代表出席中國地質學會第十八屆全國工程地質高層論壇會
2026年6月5日至7日，第十八屆全國工程地質高層論壇在深圳圓滿舉行。本屆論壇以「新時代自然災害防治體系建構對策與建議」為主題，匯集了來自全國的院士、專家學者及代表，共同探討自然災害防治的前沿問題與實踐路徑。香港地質學會（GSHK）的代表受邀並出席了本次盛會，進一步彰顯了粵港澳大灣區在防災減災領域的緊密交流。
論壇由中國地質學會主辦，中國地質學會工程地質專業委員會與哈爾濱工業大學（深圳）承辦，開幕式由該校徐成彥教授主持。黃玉東、李焯芬、陳湘生、杜時貴院士等七位出席開幕式，並先後致辭強調了工程地質在國家防災減災體系中的戰略意義。在特邀報告環節，彭建兵院士提出了系統化的自然災害防治體系建設構想，殷躍平院士則針對當前防災減災的突出問題提出了切實可行的對策建議。其後，石振明教授介紹了複雜建築場地岩溶探測的新進展，許強教授分享了自然災害監測技術體系的建構思路，祁生文研究員則聚焦於特殊環境下重大工程擾動災害鏈的挑戰。黃強兵教授和胡新麗教授分別對黃土高原地質災害鏈治理與工程治理體系建設提出了深入見解。下午的分論壇圍繞著三大主題：自然災害防治體系建設構想，土石流預測預報研究進展與挑戰，黃土高原地質災害鏈治理面臨的挑戰與應對。各分論壇成果在閉幕式上進行了總結，形成了若干建設性意見，為國家自然災害防治體系的完善提供了學術支撐。論壇最後一天安排了深圳大鵬半島國家地質公園及大鵬所城的考察。

Representatives from the Geological Society of Hong Kong (GSHK) Attended the Geological Society of China’s the 18th National High-Level Forum on Engineering Geology
The 18th National High-Level Forum on Engineering Geology was successfully held in Shenzhen from June 5th to 7th, 2026. The forum, themed "Strategies and Suggestions for Constructing a Natural Disaster Prevention and Control System in the New Era," brought together academicians, experts, scholars, and representatives from across the country to discuss cutting-edge issues and practical approaches to natural disaster prevention and control. Representatives from the Geological Society of Hong Kong (GSHK) were invited to attend this grand event, further highlighting the close exchanges in the field of disaster prevention and mitigation within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The forum was hosted by the Geological Society of China and co-organized by the Engineering Geology Professional Committee of the Geological Society of China and Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen). The opening ceremony was chaired by Professor Xu Chengyan of Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen). Seven academicians, including Huang Yudong, Li Zhuofen, Chen Xiangsheng, and Du Shigui, attended the opening ceremony and delivered speeches emphasizing the strategic significance of engineering geology in the national disaster prevention and mitigation system. During the invited report session, Academician Peng Jianbing proposed a systematic concept for the construction of a natural disaster prevention and control system, while Academician Yin Yueping offered practical and feasible countermeasures to address prominent issues in current disaster prevention and mitigation. Following this, Professor Shi Zhenming introduced new advancements in karst detection at complex construction sites, Professor Xu Qiang shared the design principles for a natural disaster monitoring technology system, and Researcher Qi Shengwen focused on the challenges of major engineering disturbance disaster chains under special environments. Professors Huang Qiangbing and Hu Xinli offered in-depth insights into the governance and engineering governance system for geological disaster chains on the Loess Plateau. The afternoon's sub-forums revolved around three main themes: the concept for the construction of a natural disaster prevention and control system, the progress and challenges in debris flow prediction and forecasting research, and the challenges and responses to the governance of geological disaster chains on the Loess Plateau. The results of each sub-forum were summarized at the closing ceremony, resulting in several constructive suggestions that provided academic support for the improvement of the national natural disaster prevention and control system. The final day of the forum included a visit to the Dapeng Peninsula National Geopark and Dapeng Ancient Fortress in Shenzhen.

The Geological Society of Hong Kong (GSHK) held a geological visit to the northern Guangdong Province on 28 to 30 March 2026.

On day 1, the group of 18 participants visited the Guangdong Grand Canyon, which is a massive, beautiful gorge located in Ruyuan. The Grand Canyon is about 15 kilometers long and over 400 meters deep, and mainly made up of quartz sandstone of Devonian age. The visit started at the crest of the canyon, which was lifted up due to mountain-building movements, and was then eroded and etched by rainwater and rivers over millions of years to form the spectacular steep cliffs and waterfall we see today. Some of the participants made all the way up and down the famous "Sky Ladder", a giant stone staircase with over 1,300 steps that leads us down to the valley floor.

On day 2 and 3, the group visited the Danxiashan UNESCO Global Geopark, characterized by multi-layered red beds formed by fluvial deposition in Cretaceous, and crafted by uplift, weathering and erosion. Despite of the heavy rain, the group enjoyed the hikes and boat trip, with breathtaking landscapes of rounded peaks, pillars, cliffs and gorges made up of sandstone and conglomerate — known as the Danxia landforms. Culturally, the geopark is home to ancient Buddhist temples carved into cliff faces. The group also visited the Danxiashan museum, which showcased the geology and landform of the geopark.

GSHK thanks the Geological Society of Guangdong and relevant geological teams for organizing the visit.

香港地質學會於 2026 年 3 月 28 日至 30 日舉辦了一次粵北地質考察活動。

第一天，18人組成的團隊考察了位於乳源，壯闊而美麗的廣東大峽谷。這峽谷全長約15公里，深度超過400米，主要由泥盆紀時期的石英砂岩組成。該地區因造山運動而抬升，隨後經過數百萬年雨水與河流的侵蝕與塑造，形成了我們今天所看到的壯麗懸崖和瀑布。部分團隊成員還成功挑戰有1300多級臺階的“通天梯”，來回峽谷頂和山谷。

在第二天和第三天，團隊考察了丹霞山聯合國教科文組織世界地質公園。這裡以白堊紀河流沉積形成的紅層為主，經歷抬升、風化和侵蝕而成。儘管下著大雨，團隊依然盡情享受了徒步登山、乘船遊覽之旅，飽覽了由砂岩和礫岩組成的圓峰、石柱、懸崖和深谷等壯麗景觀，亦即著名的“丹霞地貌”。在文化方面，地質公園內還坐落著許多鑿於懸崖峭壁之上的千年古刹。團隊還參觀了丹霞山博物館，館內展示了地質公園的地質和地貌資訊。

香港地質學會感謝廣東省地質學會及相關地質團隊組織此次考察參觀。

Technical Site Visit to the Relocation of Diamond Hill Fresh Water and Salt Water Service Reservoirs to Caverns Project
On 21 March 2026, the Geological Society of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Regional Group of the Society of London and the Macao Geosciences Society jointly hosted the Technical Site Visit to the Relocation of Diamond Hill Fresh Water and Salt Water Service Reservoirs to Caverns Project.
This pioneering initiative by the Water Supplies Department involves relocating the existing service reservoirs and associated facilities into caverns, thereby freeing up the original site for housing and other community developments while ensuring a reliable, high-quality water supply. As a landmark underground project, it exemplifies Hong Kong’s cutting-edge expertise in ground engineering and cavern construction for critical infrastructure.
During the visit, participants engaged directly with the project team, gaining valuable insights into the site’s geological conditions, engineering design, and construction management, while also observing the ongoing tunnel excavation firsthand. The technical highlights of the visit include an insightful discussion on tunnel design and groundwater management strategies for long-term reservoir cavern stability, and demonstration of the 4S (Smart Site Safety System) application, enhancing real-time monitoring, hazard detection, and worker safety in the confined tunnel environments
We extend our sincere appreciation to the project team from Binnies Hong Kong Limited and Chun Wo–Sinohydro Joint Venture for hosting the visit and generously sharing their expertise. We look forward to the safe and successful ex*****on of the upcoming drill-and-blast operations and the continued progress of this remarkable project.

搬遷鑽石山食水及海水配水庫往岩洞工程技術考察
2026年3月21日上午，香港地質學會、英國地質學會香港分會及澳門地球科學會聯合舉辦了「搬遷鑽石山食水及海水配水庫往岩洞」的工程技術考察。
此項由水務署主導的開創性工程，將現有的配水庫及相關設施搬遷至岩洞，從而釋放原有用地以供興建房屋及其他社區設施，同時確保穩定及高質量的供水。作為一項具里程碑意義的地下工程，它充分展現了香港在地基工程及岩洞建造方面的尖端技術與專業能力。
在考察過程中，參加者與項目團隊直接交流，深入了解場地的地質狀況、工程設計及施工管理，並親身觀察隧道開挖的進行。技術亮點包括關於隧道設計及地下水管理策略的深入討論，以確保水庫岩洞的長期穩定，以及4S（智慧工地安全系統）應用的示範，提升隧道密閉環境下的即時監測、危害偵測及工人安全保障。
我們謹向賓尼斯工程顧問有限公司及俊和－中國水電聯營的項目團隊致以誠摯謝意，感謝他們的悉心安排及專業分享，並期待即將展開的鑽挖爆破作業能安全順利完成，推動此項卓越工程持續進展。
