• Special attention is given to concepts and developments of new energy geotechnologies that comprise intrinsic mechanisms protecting the environment against potential engineering-induced damage, hence warranting sustainable usage of energy resources.该刊特别关注内含环境保护机制以抵御工程诱发损伤的新能源地质技术概念与进展，以保障能源资源的可持续利用。
• The scope is broad and includes fundamental concepts in geomechanics and the mechanics of porous media, together with experiments and analysis of novel phenomena and applications.其范围广泛，涵盖地质力学与多孔介质力学的基本概念，以及新现象与新应用的实验和分析。
• Of special interest are issues resulting from the coupling of the physics, chemistry and biology of external forcings, as well as of pore fluids, gases and minerals, to the solid mechanics of the medium skeleton and pore fluid mechanics.该刊尤为关注外部作用的物理、化学与生物过程，以及孔隙流体、气体和矿物与介质骨架固体力学及孔隙流体力学相互耦合所产生的问题。
• Multi-scale and inter-scale interactions between phenomena and behaviour representations are also of particular interest, as are general theoretical approaches of potential reference to geomechanics in its energy and environmental context.现象与行为表征之间的多尺度与跨尺度相互作用同样备受关注，对能源与环境语境下的地质力学具有潜在参照价值的通用理论方法亦然。
• The journal fosters scientific understanding of processes in geomaterials, both technology-induced and natural, emphasising the fusion of fundamental concepts in mechanics, physics, geochemistry and geo-biology and their application to novel technologies.该刊促进对技术与自然诱发的岩土材料过程的科学理解，强调力学、物理、地球化学与地球生物学基本概念的融合及其在新技术中的应用。
• Its writers and readers are geo-scientists and civil, petroleum, geotechnical, geological, mining and rock engineers, as well as hydrologists, soil physicists and geophysicists.其作者与读者为地球科学家以及土木、石油、岩土、地质、采矿与岩石工程师，还包括水文地质学家、土壤物理学家与地球物理学家。
