Preface to the special issue of the Division Energy, Resources and the Environment at the EGU General Assembly EGU22

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 their respective disciplines and beyond via its inter-and
transdisciplinary sessions, and thus offers a unique forum for scientific
exchange, science-policy interaction, and joint development of strategies
for future research endeavours. Within that framework the Energy, Resources
and the Environment (ERE) Programme Group provides the platform for
discussion about adequate and reliable supplies of affordable energy and
other georesources in environmentally sustainable ways. This special issue
in Advances in Geosciences comprises a collection of contributions from the
ERE Programme Group, which were presented at the General Assembly 2022. It
was held in hybrid mode for the first time from 23–27 May 2022, after two
virtual assemblies in 2020 and 2021.
