The Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (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 in print as an EEGS member benefit, by subscription, and electronically through GeoScienceWorld and EEGS' Research Library. It is listed in the Science Citation Index with a 2007 impact factor of 0.750.

Call for Papers
Geotechnical Assessment and Geoenvironmental Engineering
Special Issues in EAGE Journal of Near Surface Geophysics and EEGS' Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (JEEG)
Deadline for submission of abstracts: October 15, 2011
The past decade has seen a distinct change in the way geophysical methods are utilized to investigate geotechnical and geoenvironmental issues. Advances in instrumentation design, computer hardware and data processing software have all contributed to the development of novel and highly sophisticated geophysical techniques. In response to this rapid and exciting expansion of research, the Journal of Environmental &vEngineering Geophysics and Near Surface Geophysics are producing a collaborative ‘Special Issue on Geotechnical Assessment and Geoenvironmental Engineering’ to showcase the state-of-the-art and the most pertinent research currently underway in the discipline.
This special issue is a joint venture of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), the publisher of Near Surface Geophysics and the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS), the publisher of the Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics, to promote and enhance communication between international research communities and ensure the widespread, effective dissemination of the latest work and results. To that end, online access of this issue will be made available to all EAGE NSGD and EEGS members.
We invite papers reporting on:
• Novel measurement, assessment and monitoring techniques
• Application of new and emerging geophysical methods
• Innovative data processing and visualization techniques
• Modelling and inversion of geophysical data
• Integrated geophysical imaging and characterization approaches
• Geophysical estimation of engineering parameters
• Novel and interesting case histories
Subjects can be related, but not limited, to the following topics: site and geomaterials characterization (including non-destructive testing of concrete), soil and rock erosion, slope stability, liquefaction potential, infrastructure assessment, urban planning, foundations, subsidence, collapse, compressible soils, organic soils, landfills, buried waste, contaminated soil deposits, obstructions, unknown conditions, undetected utilities, pseudo-karst features (utilities, tunnels and abandoned mines), sinkholes, caves, groundwater, detection and mitigation of leakage in dams, earthquake hazard mitigation, earthquake ground motion prediction, bridge scour, highways and road construction, deep mine geology and orebody delineation, ground control, archaeological and historical sites.
The guest editors of this special issue will ensure both its topical focus and conformity with the high quality standards of Near Surface Geophysics and the Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics. Authors are encouraged to contribute high-level technical research papers. Please inform the EAGE Editorial Office, Ms. Wendel van der Sluis (ws@eage.org), about your intention to contribute and provide a one-page extended abstract by October 15, 2011.
