Abstract
The discipline of rock mechanics, which emerged in the 1960s and 1970s as a distinct scientific subject, is undergoing rapid development, including a significant shift within the traditional civil, transportation, and petroleum fields. This shift leans toward using Earth resources to mitigate adverse climate change and to boost sustainable and renewable energy production. Energy geotechnics, or “GeoEnergy,” focuses on novel geomechanics and geotechnical engineering strategies to meet emerging sustainability market demands. GeoEnergy applications that employ rock mechanics and engineering include geothermal systems, geologic carbon sequestration, underground hydrogen storage, compressed air energy storage, and nuclear waste repositories.
