History

• During the 1952 reorganisation of Chinese higher education, the Beijing Institute of Geology was created by merging the geology-related departments of Peking University, Tsinghua University, Tianjin University and Tangshan Railway College into a single specialist institution.1952 年中国高等院校院系调整时，北京大学、清华大学、天津大学与唐山铁道学院的地质类院系被合并为一所专门院校，即北京地质学院。
• Within the 1950s the new institute was designated one of China's first 16 key universities, a status that shaped its later emphasis on research and graduate training.1950 年代，这所新学院被确定为中国首批 16 所重点大学之一，这一地位为其此后重视科研与研究生培养奠定了基础。
• Teaching and research were suspended from 1966 to 1970 during the Cultural Revolution, when universities across the country were disrupted.1966 年至 1970 年文化大革命期间，全国高校普遍受到冲击，学校的教学与科研随之中断。
• The institution reopened in 1970 in Jiangling County, Hubei Province, as the Hubei College of Geology, far from its original Beijing campus.1970 年，学校在湖北省江陵县复校，改称湖北地质学院，校址远离原北京校园。
• In 1975 the college moved to Wuhan and took the name Wuhan College of Geology, beginning a period of growth in the Hubei capital.1975 年，学院迁至武汉并更名为武汉地质学院，在湖北省会进入新的发展时期。
• In 1978 the graduate school relocated back to Beijing with the support of Deng Xiaoping, then the paramount leader of the People's Republic of China.1978 年，在时任中国最高领导人邓小平的支持下，研究生部迁回北京办学。
• In 1986 the Beijing Graduate School of Wuhan College of Geology was formally founded at the original campus of the former Beijing Institute of Geology on Xueyuan Road.1986 年，武汉地质学院北京研究生部在原北京地质学院学院路旧址正式成立。
• In 1987 Wuhan College of Geology was renamed China University of Geosciences and kept two campuses, the Wuhan main campus and the Beijing graduate school campus.1987 年，武汉地质学院更名为中国地质大学，形成武汉主校区与北京研究生部校区两地办学的格局。
• The two campuses held independent legal status within the single university, an arrangement that lasted until the 2005 split.在同一所大学之内，两个校区各自具有独立法人地位，这一格局一直延续到 2005 年分设。
• On 19 June 1990 the ninth School Affairs Council adopted Song of the Exploration Team, the theme song of the film The Young Generation, as the university anthem.1990 年 6 月 19 日，第九次校务会议将电影《年轻的一代》主题歌《勘探队之歌》确定为校歌。

• In March 2005 the two campuses split into separate entities, with Wuhan inheriting the name China University of Geosciences and Beijing becoming CUGB.2005 年 3 月，两地校区分为两个独立实体，武汉主校区沿用中国地质大学校名，北京校区则成为中国地质大学（北京）。
• In September 2006 CUGB was officially established under the joint leadership of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Land and Resources.2006 年 9 月，中国地质大学（北京）在教育部与国土资源部共同领导下正式成立。
• From 2006 the Beijing institution stopped being a graduate-only school and began to operate undergraduate programmes of its own.自 2006 年起，北京这所院校不再只招收研究生，开始自主举办本科教育。
• That year it was also listed as a 985 Project Innovation Platform, and together with the Wuhan institution it holds Double First-Class Construction status.同年，学校入选「985 工程」优势学科创新平台，并与武汉的中国地质大学同属「双一流」建设高校。
• A new campus of about 263 acres is under construction in Xiong'an, the new area south of Beijing, and was expected to be completed in late 2025.学校正在北京以南的雄安新区建设占地约 263 英亩的新校区，原计划于 2025 年底建成。
• Despite the 2005 separation, the university emblem still carries the original name China University of Geosciences and the founding year 1952.尽管 2005 年两地分设，学校校徽上仍保留「中国地质大学」原名与 1952 年建校年份。
