Special Issue Information |
|
The development of energy resources in marine environments requires an integrated approach that combines geological and engineering perspectives. Marine geoscience provides essential insights into the formation, distribution, and physical properties of sediments and rock formations, while engineering geology ensures the stability, safety, and efficiency of offshore energy infrastructure. Understanding the interactions between geological processes and engineering challenges is critical for exploring, developing, and managing energy resources in coastal and offshore settings. Both recent and ancient marine sediments play a significant role in energy-related studies. Modern sediments influence seabed stability, geohazards, and coastal dynamics, impacting the design and construction of offshore structures such as wind farms, drilling platforms, and subsea pipelines. Ancient marine deposits form reservoirs for hydrocarbons, aquifers for subsurface energy storage, and sites for carbon sequestration. Engineering geology in the marine environment involves addressing challenges such as sediment erosion, slope stability, foundation design, and subsurface geomechanics, ensuring the long-term sustainability of energy-related developments. This Special Issue aims to highlight advances in marine geoscience and engineering that contribute to energy resource exploration, extraction, and development in offshore and coastal environments. |
