Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (JEEG)

The JEEG; ISSN 1083-1363) is the peer-reviewed journal of the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS). JEEG welcomes manuscripts on new developments in near-surface geophysics applied to environmental, engineering, and mining issues as well as novel near-surface geophysics case histories. JEEG is published four times a year and is available online.  It is listed in the Science Citation Index.  JEEG's CiteScore from 2017-2020 is 3.2.    

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 editor, Dr. Allen Gontz ([email protected]).
Thank you for your patience.

JEEG Editor-in-Chief
The Journal's editor is Allen Gontz, Ph.D. and MS from the University of Maine in Earth and Geological Sciences, currently a Professor of Applied Geology with the Clarkson University Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. His research has spanned all seven continents and applied terrestrial and marine geophysical methods to understand various aspects of the environment, environmental change, landscape development and the impacts of society. He regularly works with archaeologists, engineers and other scientists on multidisciplinary problems. His expertise lies in ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity, marine seismic, sidesscan sonar, UAV applications as well as multibeam bathymetry and LiDAR.

Any questions related to content, schedule, or production, can be emailed to our Editor-in-Chief at [email protected].

Author Information Packet

The online manuscript submission and publication process uses the below documents and forms and requires no fees or costs to submit. These documents and forms are likely to change as EEGS transitions to the GSW platform.   

Author Awards

JEEG offers an opportunity for published authors to win the yearly Best Paper Award in honor of Alan Witten.  The Best Paper Award is decided by the EEGS board of directors after a recommendation from the current JEEG editor. The award is presented yearly at SAGEEP.
