Abstract: Under the background of speeding up the construction of “Double First-Class” and the development of crossdisciplines,the traditional earth science is also gradually transforming to the earth system science, which puts forward new expectations and requirements for the cultivation of geoscience talents. In order to better adapt to the needs of industrial development and the development of discipline characteristics, it is necessary to carry out diversified innovation on the training mode of geoscience talents and construct the training system of Geoscience top-notch talents in the contemporary era. “Physical Geology” is a foundational course for geoscience majors. In this paper, the course reform is introduced in the following five aspects: optimizing the teaching syllabus, strengthening the course ideology and politics, paying attention to the guidance of masters, changing the teaching method and advocating the combination of science and technology, so as to carry out beneficial practice and thinking on the training of top geoscience talents.
