Efficient usage of underground resources is becoming increasingly important, as it is linked with the principle of sustainable development. Underground geological formations contain significant amounts of oil, gas and heat and can also be used for storage of carbon dioxide, natural gas or radioactive waste. Development of technologies to utilize these underground resources and spaces requires appropriate understanding of geological and hydrological processes controlling injection, extraction or interaction with subsurface fluids (Mousavi Nezhad, 2010; Mousavi Nezhad et al., 2011, 2018, 2019; Mousavi Nezhad and Javadi, 2011). This special issue is devoted to the new trends in geo-energy and geo-resources modeling and applications, the main subject of the FREFRAC workshop that was organized during the 3rd United Kingdom InterPore Conference held at the University of Warwick on September 4–5, 2017.

前言：地球能源与地球资源：建模与应用

地下资源的有效利用变得越来越重要，因为它与可持续发展的原则息息相关。地下地质构造含有大量的石油、天然气和热量，还可用于储存二氧化碳、天然气或放射性废物。开发利用这些地下资源和空间的技术需要适当了解控制注入、提取或与地下流体相互作用的地质和水文过程（Mousavi Nezhad，2010；Mousavi Nezhad 等，2011、2018、2019；Mousavi Nezhad 和 Javadi， 2011）。本期特刊致力于地球能源和地球资源建模和应用的新趋势，
