Seismology for the Energy Transition
The energy transition can help mitigate climate changes by progressively shifting from fossil-based energies to low- or zero-carbon energies, such as wind, solar, hydropower, hydrogen, geothermal, nuclear and marine energies, etc. Decarbonization of the energy sector is crucial for achieving the net-zero goal. Approaches such as geologic carbon storage can enable decarbonization of some energy sources, such as coal- and natural gas-fired power plants, oil refineries, cement plants and bioenergy production facilities. The development of new seismic technologies will play a crucial role in the energy transition. We invite contributions from research exploring applications of advanced seismic approaches and techniques to the energy transition process, particularly for subsurface characterization, monitoring and infrastructure surveillance. We welcome submissions of abstracts on computational, laboratory experimental and field-scale studies.
