description: </div>
Geodynamic and tectonic processes play a crucial role in shaping the
structural and thermal configuration of the lithosphere, influencing
the distribution of magmatic, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
Consequently, these processes are also responsible for the
heterogeneous distribution of critical subsurface resources, such as
metals, rare earth elements, geothermal energy, and natural
hydrogen, all essential for the energy transition. Geophysical
methods provide us with a present-day snapshot of the long-term
geological and structural evolution, as well as insights into
short-term deformation, ultimately helping in underpinning
large-scale exploration programs to avoid adverse effects on the
environment; however, these methods are limited in resolution and
can be costly.<br>
Researchers studying the subsurface have identified the natural
processes responsible for the formation of these resources, but
significant gaps remain in our understanding of when and where the
necessary conditions for their formation occurred within the Earth.
Furthermore, extracting subsurface resources requires detailed
knowledge and understanding of the tectonic evolution and the
resulting stress field, whether the rock naturally possesses
porosity, permeability, and fractures, or if and how engineering
techniques could be used to improve the productivity of these
systems.<br>
This session aims to close research gaps between geodynamic
processes and the formation of georesources. We invite contributions
on observational data analysis, numerical modeling, laboratory
experiments, and geological engineering, with a particular emphasis
on studies that integrate multiple approaches/datasets.<span
