Call for Abstracts!

Now's the time to take a moment and submit your abstract for presentation at SAGEEP 2019.  The call for abstracts for SAGEEP 2019 is set to close November 4, 2018! Join us in Portland, Oregon, March 17-21, 2019 to explore the latest research in the near surface field, engaging with topics around the application of geophysics to a variety of problems. This important deadline is right around the corner....the call closes November 4, 2018.

We're on our new platform, so everyone submitting will need to create an account upon their first login.

SAGEEP is North America's foremost near surface conference and sets the stage for the field going forward. Those interested in presenting at SAGEEP in 2019 should check out our website where you can find more information on submitting your abstract(s).

Three Conferences and an Exhibition: One Price

This year, in addition to the popular 32nd Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems, and our world class exhibition of near surface industry companies, SAGEEP 2019 will also host two sister conferences: the Geohazards Conference, and the Shallow Marine/Coastal Geophysics Conference. These three complementary conferences will run side-by-side during SAGEEP 2019, and offer the breadth and depth necessary to explore some of the main themes of the near surface field. Learn more about each conference, and the topics explored in each, over at our call for abstracts.

SAGEEP also hosts an impressive exhibition which features 44 of the most innovative companies working in near surface. You can also join us for our Outdoor Demonstrations where you will see the operation of our exhibitors' cutting-edge technology.  Check back often for details and bookmark this address:  www.SAGEEP.org.

Call for Volunteers - EEGS Intersociety Committee 

We still have room on the EGS Intersociety Committee for additional volunteers to serve as liaison to technical societies who have an interest in near surface geophysical applications. One important objective of intersociety activities is to foster the use and applications of near surface geophysics and broaden the scope of applications. This can be achieved through developing collaborative activities such as technical sessions at the Symposium of the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems (SAGEEP), development of special workshops and publications in FastTimes or the Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (JEEG).  Frequently, intersociety relations are formalized through a memorandum of understanding (MOU) or similar document. EEGS is currently renewing and developing new MOUs for intersociety collaboration. In particular, if you are a member of a society that you think would benefit from collaboration with EEGS, this is an ideal time to step forward and contact Bruce Smith, Chair, Intersociety Committee by emailing him at [email protected].


What's the Big Deal with EEGS Membership?

Membership in the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS) is a deal - a Big Deal!  The benefits of being a member of EEGS extend well beyond the quantifiable benefits described below. Being a member makes you part of one of the premier near-surface geophysical groups in the world. EEGS, a predominently volunteer-run organization, provides a unique opportunity to get involved with the near-surface geophysical community in a hands-on way - more so than with other professional societies.  That's why membership in EEGS is a big deal - we need your participation - your membership is what makes EEGS run! 

The 2019 EEGS Membership renewal process is underway.  Current members should expect a notification of renewal.  Follow the quick and easy payment instructions and be sure to renew before registering for SAGEEP - discounted Symposium registration fees are a major benefit to renewing your membership (or joining EEGS!).

Reminder:  Digital, Online Only JEEG in 2019

The EEGS Board of Directors voted to offer a digital Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (JEEG) to all members and subscribers.  Beginning with the March, 2019 issue, members and subscribers will access the electronic Journal online only.

JEEG Editor Dale Rucker said the move to an exclusively digital JEEG will have a minimal effect on the publication's content.  JEEG's impact factor, a measure of the yearly average number of citations to recent articles, has risen to 1.36 from .73 in 2016.

You'll notice other changes to JEEG as well - be sure to watch this space for further information on our new JEEG!
