Membership

EEGS is the premier organization for geophysics applied to engineering and environmental problems. Our multidisciplinary blend of professionals from the private sector, academia, and government offers a unique opportunity to network with researchers, practitioners, and users of near-surface geophysical methods.

We've added many new convenience features, many more online networking opportunities among members and simplified access to the information that's important to you.  With social networking support, simple tools for staying in touch, space for sharing documents and photos and resources to support committees, we can use it to help market our association and highlight great work being done.
