Abstract
This issue's special section was inspired by a series of presentations given in 2023 as part of a forum under the same name at the Bay Area Geophysical Society, the Colorado School of Mines, and two special sessions at IMAGE '23. At the heart of the forum is the existential question: How does applied geophysics remain relevant to the rapidly emergent energy transition and its requirement to secure an unprecedented volume of diverse natural resources while steadfastly minimizing the negative environmental impacts of doing so?
