摘要
Energy is the driving force of universe.Energy released by chemotropic and/or phototropic reactions is considered to have driven the formation of primitive life on the early Earth.The dynamic Earth,the only planet so far recognized with horizontal motion of lithospheric plates and plate tectonics,provides the best example for the interaction of various forms of energy from different sources which made this planet habitable.The ever-increasing energy needs of the modern society has led to the identification,exploration,and exploitation of various forms of conventional and unconventional energy sources as well as the development of advanced techniques and tools.Although there are several established publications that cover various topics of energy,a common platform to address and integrate all aspects of the planet's energy sources,their exploration and development,utilization,and economic and social implications is lacking.With this objective,we launch our new journal“Energy Geoscience”(ENGEOS)to cover a broad spectrum of topics catering to a large segment of scientific community who are interested in various aspects of natural energy.
