Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the curvature behavior of four dimensional shrinking gradient Ricci solitons. For such soliton $M$ with bounded scalar curvature $S$, it is shown that the curvature operator $mathrmRm$ of $M$ satisfies the estimate $|mathrmRm|lec,S$ for some constant $c$. Moreover, the curvature operator $mathrmRm$ is asymptotically nonnegative at infinity and admits a lower bound $mathrmRmgeq-c,left(lnright{)}^{-1/4},$ where $r$ is the distance function to a fixed point in $M$. As application, we prove that if the scalar curvature converges to zero at infinity, then the manifold must be asymptotically conical. As a separate issue, a diameter upper bound for compact shrinking gradient Ricci solitons of arbitrary dimension is derived in terms of the injectivity radius.
