Advances in AI-Based (AI+) Energy and Resource Research

Dear Colleagues,

Presently, global energy and resources research is driven by many new technologies. Combinations of artificial intelligence and other disciplines in the field of energy and resources research has greatly promoted its progress. In this context, it is of great significance to take an up-to-date survey of the new advances in AI-based (AI+) energy and resource research.

Areas relevant to advances in AI-based (AI+) energy and resource research include, but are not limited to, new understandings of intelligent mining, mathematical geology, big data for energy and resources, and AI-based applied technologies.

This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers from the following fields: intelligent mining; AI-based geological surveys; new applications of AI+ technologies; intelligent equipment; macro research on energy and resource systems; energy security; energy- and resource-related simulation studies.
