Abstract

Geomechanics is advancing our understanding of the multi-physical processes encountered in engineering practices involving energy storage and production and environmental protection for which the characterization of the behavior of relevant materials is essential. Trends based on publications in the Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment Journal over the past seven years have revealed that four areas of research are currently of utmost importance: (1) energy geostructures, (2) geological CO2 storage, (3) nuclear waste disposal, and (4) hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs. This article aims to emphasize the contributions of the journal to these areas by providing insights into their relevance and the current trends and developments in their design and analytical approaches whilst identifying and presenting current knowledge gaps and new horizons for young researchers.
