Competition for funding by the NSFC has been a very important indicator to measure the basic research level of various province and scientific research institutions. Based on the project information of NSFC, the paper constructs the index of basic research competitiveness, analyzes project number and project funding of earth science during 2006-2016. At the same time, the competitiveness of earth science basic research and its changing trend in 31 provinces of China are analyzed, and some improvement suggestions are forwarded to promote the development of earth science in china.
