該雜志的目的是發表關于地質力學的研究成果，其質量最高，并具有持久的重要性，其重點是在地質能源生產和儲存方面的應用，以及土壤和巖石與自然和工程環境的相互作用。特別注意新能源地球技術的概念和發展，這些技術包括保護環境免受潛在工程引起的破壞的內在機制，從而保證可持續地利用能源。雜志的范圍是廣泛的，包括地質力學和多孔介質力學的基本概念，實驗和分析新的現象和應用。特別令人感興趣的問題是由于特定的物理、化學和生物的外力，以及孔隙流體/氣體和礦物與介質骨架的固體力學和孔隙流體力學的耦合而產生的。現象與行為表征之間的多尺度和跨尺度交互也特別令人感興趣。對這些問題的一般理論方法的貢獻，但對地質力學在能源和環境方面的潛在參考也是最受歡迎的。該雜志的目的是促進科學理解各種地質材料的過程，包括由技術和自然誘導的過程，以及它們與潛在機制的關系?；瘜W、生物、熱和力學性質、變量和場耦合的內在性質，使相關問題有別于經典地質力學中的問題。因此,強調基本概念的發展和融合力學、物理、地球化學和geo-biology這樣的概念和應用新技術相關的地質能源生產和儲存的預防以及對環境的破壞,固體和流體力學的相關性。

The aim of the Journal is to publish research results of the highest quality and of lasting importance on the subject of geomechanics, with the focus on applications to geological energy production and storage, and the interaction of soils and rocks with the natural and engineered environment. Special attention is given to concepts and developments of new energy geotechnologies that comprise intrinsic mechanisms protecting the environment against a potential engineering induced damage, hence warranting sustainable usage of energy resources.The scope of the journal is broad, including fundamental concepts in geomechanics and mechanics of porous media, the experiments and analysis of novel phenomena and applications. Of special interest are issues resulting from coupling of particular physics, chemistry and biology of external forcings, as well as of pore fluid/gas and minerals to the solid mechanics of the medium skeleton and pore fluid mechanics. The multi-scale and inter-scale interactions between the phenomena and the behavior representations are also of particular interest. Contributions to general theoretical approach to these issues, but of potential reference to geomechanics in its context of energy and the environment are also most welcome.The purpose of the Journal is to foster scientific understanding of various processes in geomaterials, both induced by technology and natural, and their relationship to the underlying mechanisms. The intrinsic nature of coupling of chemical, biological, thermal and mechanical properties, variables and fields distinguishes the related problems from those in classical geomechanics. Thus, emphasis is placed on the development and fusion of fundamental concepts in mechanics, physics, geochemistry and geo-biology and applications of such concepts to novel technologies related to geological energy production and storage as well as to the prevention of the damage to the environment, in which solid and fluid mechanics of geomaterials is of relevance.
