After fully investigating the use of the GBDB database, systematically revised the website and back-end data, NIGPAS started the construction of the new version of GBDB since 2019. The new website has finally been launched (URL: http://geobiodiversity.com/), and the public beta has begun.

Two inventions completed by the Experimental Paleobiology Laboratory of NIGPAS were formally authorized. One was " High pressure simulator of environment exchangeable for rock-water reaction in wide range pressure controlling and its working process" and another was "High pressure vessel of media exchangeable with environment in wide pressure controlling and its working process".
