Abstract
Abstract. The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is one of the leading global bottom-up societies that promotes earth, planetary and space sciences. In its annual general assemblies, EGU brings together experts from all over the world to discuss cutting-edge research and implementation of findings in its respective disciplines and thus offers a unique forum for scientific exchange, science-policy interaction, and joint development of strategies for future research endeavours. This special issue in Advances in Geosciences comprises a collection of contributions from the Division Energy, Resources and the Environment (ERE) of the EGU, which were presented at the General Assembly 2021, vEGU2021: Gather online. It was held entirely online for the second time after EGU2020 from 19 to 30 April 2021.

Summary
The EGU General Assembly 2021 was held from 19 to 30 April 2021. Due to various restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was run as vEGU2021: Gather online. In contrast to the General Assembly 2020, vEGU2021 was scheduled as a two week-long series of online activities with Union-wide lectures in week one and division-specific sessions in the subsequent week. In 2021, it led 22 sessions (including two inter-and transdisciplinary sessions) with 466 presentations and co-organised another five sessions (other divisions with leading role) with 84 presentations (EGU, 2021) This volume of Advances in Geosciences spans a wide range of topics in the fields of energy, resources and the environment which were presented in April 2021 and hereby continues a series of eight ERE special issues over the course of the last years (Kühn et al, 2013, 2015, 2016; Juhlin et al, 2014; Martens et al, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020)
