When mysterious underground lava tubes meet vast interstellar exploration, what kind of scientific sparks will they ignite? Recently, the "International Symposium on Comprehensive Detection and Engineering Utilization of Lava Tubes", jointly hosted by the China University of Geosciences (Beijing), the Management Committee of Jingpo Lake Scenic Area Nature Reserve, and the Heilongjiang Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation Bureau, was successfully held in the Jingpo Lake National Scenic Area. Top experts and scholars from home and abroad in the fields of geology, planetary science, surveying and remote sensing, underground engineering, and intelligent detection gathered together. Centered on the theme of "Lava Tube Formation, Comprehensive Detection and Engineering Utilization", they engaged in an intellectual collision spanning Earth and deep space, jointly sketching a grand blueprint for the research of extraterrestrial underground space engineering.

Jingpo Lake is not only a scenic tourist destination but also a treasure trove containing rich Earth science codes. The typical basaltic volcanic landforms and large-scale lava tube systems developed in the Jingpo Lake area provide perfect natural analogues for this conference. Through field investigations of the lava landforms, scholars have not only deepened their understanding of the spatial structures and environmental characteristics of terrestrial lava tubes, but also accumulated detailed field data for future extraterrestrial planetary exploration. The hosting of this international symposium in Jingpo Lake is both a cutting-edge academic event and a concentrated demonstration of the value of Jingpo Lake's world-class volcanic geological resources. The successful holding of the symposium has not only built a high-level international exchange and cross-disciplinary cooperation platform for scholars in the field of lava tube research at home and abroad, but also serves as a vivid practice for the Jingpo Lake Scenic Area in the deep integrated development of "geology + scientific research + tourism".
