Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (JEEG)

Accessing JEEG Issues

The Journal is offered online through a SEG Digital Library portal.  Please note: The Society of Exploration Geophysicists’ publications have moved to GeoScienceWorld (GSW). Members and institutional subscribers will be able to access all of the same SEG content as before, but on the GSW platform.  Prior to accessing the GSW web site, membership must be validated.  If you are already logged in while viewing this page, you will still be required to log in as the first step to accessing the GSW page.  Once logged in, select the black button link "Access to the online JEEG" from the list.    

To the Readers of the Journal of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics:
In an effort to better serve you, our members and the broader community, the EEGS Board and the Editor of JEEG have decided to transition from KGL, our current publisher, to GeoScienceWorld (GSW). We have made this decision to streamline the publication process and integrate our archived issue database with our current and forthcoming issues. When the transition is complete, all of our past, present and current issues will be hosted by GSW. However, a move from one publisher to another requires a lot of backend migration. In order to accomplish this in a reasonable timeframe, we have decided to suspend publication of JEEG for a short period in the beginning of 2026. The Peer Track submission site will be closed to new submissions beginning December 22, 2025 and a new submission site will open with GSW.

For those of you with manuscripts submitted, we are working to move those through an expedited review process with GSW. During the transition, the editorial team may be reaching out for clarification or a request to open a new submission into which the editorial team will add all the files and reviews transferred from the KGL Peer Track platform.

We understand the concerns that you, our authors, may have about the impacts on the time to publication. We are working to minimize any impacts that the transition may have on you and the dissemination of your work. We appreciate your understanding and patience while we work to improve JEEG and strive to make JEEG a premier journal in environmental and engineering geophysics.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Publications Committee by emailing [email protected].

Editors’ Foreword                      Dale Rucker, Ph.D.

Well, here we are. It has been six years since I last sat in the editor’s chair for the Journal of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics, and I did not expect to return to it. I served as Editor-in-Chief from 2016 through 2020, and I write now as a past president of the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society. When delays and a few communication gaps threatened to hold up this volume, I volunteered to step back in and see it through to publication. I will admit that it has been a real joy to read manuscripts again, and to watch a set of papers come together into a finished issue. That joy is tempered by the knowledge that this is the last issue of JEEG for now. The journal is entering a hiatus while

EEGS works to identify a new editor and to gain a clearer picture of the Society’s finances. Bittersweet is the right word for it.

If this is to be the final issue for a while, it is a strong one to go out on. The eight papers collected here span much of what makes near-surface geophysics such a rewarding field to work in. Readers will find a general inversion code tested against three case studies, a cautionary look at using SPT blow counts to estimate shear wave velocity for ASCE 7-22 site classification, and a comparison of passive MASW and HVSR measurements at a Tennessee dike. Ground penetrating radar features prominently, with contributions on the homogeneity of rock fills, the imaging of fractures and dissolution cavities, and a deep learning method for automatically detecting hidden hazards in levees. Rounding out the issue are preliminary results from a novel frequency domain electromagnetic device for mapping permafrost and a new Gram-Schmidt-based finite difference scheme for acoustic wave modeling. The authors come from across the globe, and their work reflects the methodological range that has long been the journal’s strength. 

To everyone who contributed to this issue, the authors, the associate editors, and the reviewers who gave their time without much in the way of public thanks, I am grateful. A pause in JEEG does not mean the Society has gone quiet. FastTIMES remains active and is publishing articles on a regular basis, and it continues to be one of the best places to share work, ideas, and news with the near-surface community. If you have something you would like to contribute, please reach out to Cian Dawson, who would be glad to hear from you. It has been an honor to help carry JEEG across this threshold, and I look forward to the day the journal finds its footing and resumes the run it deserves.

Regards,
Dale Rucker, PhD
