摘      要：Geological disasters such as landslide and mudslide can be caused by many factors. Collaborations among different governmental agencies and multi-disciplines are necessary to establish a forecasting and warning system of geological disasters (FWSGD). A FWSGD in China has been in operation since June 1, 2003 as a joint project between the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) and the Ministry of Land and Resources (MLR). This system has successfully shown very good social and economic benefits. The temporal-spatial distribu- tions of China geological disasters and their causes have been analyzed in this paper. The FWSGD is described and its possible existing issues are also discussed. Authors suggest a new approach to study these disasters from interactions of the earth systems. Finally, a monitoring, forecasting, warning and preventing system for geological disasters in China is proposed.
