Abstract

On November 16, 2025, the editorial office of Advances in Geo-Energy Research (AGER) successfully held the 100th AGER Forum, jointly supported by several academic partners, and attended by more than 10,000 people online. With the theme focusing “Digital rock physics and fluid flow in the context of energy transition”, the event gathered renowned experts from UK, Belgium and China to discuss frontier progress in fluid flow, pore-scale simulation, and geo-energy storage research. The forum emphasized that digital rock physics and multiscale imaging technologies are becoming essential research tools in next-generation low-carbon energy systems. The AGER forum included expert lectures and interactive discussions, enhancing the influence of AGER within the global geo-energy f ield. The 100th Forum marks an important milestone in the development of the journal. In the future, the AGER Forum will continue serving as a platform for advancing science and technology in the field of geo-energy.
