Are you up for a new challenge?
Our new FastTimes and JEEG editors are doing a great job in developing solid technical content for our publications! Special issues create an opportunity to identify and solicit advertising from special advertisers. However, our editors, focusing on content, don't always have the opportunity to focus on our advertisers. EEGS Board has identified the need for a Publications Advertising Editor or Publications Business Editor to focus on developing advertisers. Just like our current editorial teams, we need a business or advertising team to focus on advertisers. Are you up for the challenge? Please drop an email to [email protected] if you are interested in helping with the business side of our organization.

Page 10 of Vol 22,2 contains instructions on how to navigate around and use all the features of, the interactive PDF (e.g. enlarging the figures for better viewing).
Download the low or high resolution PDF from the EEGS website at: eegs.org/FastTIMES/Latest Issue. Follow the new download instructions for both the low and high resolution PDF files.

Donate Now for the SAGEEP 2018 Foundation Silent Auction!
 The 2018 SAGEEP conference is scheduled for March 25-29 in Nashville, Tennessee and looks to be a great conference - and a lot of fun! As part of this year's festivities and building on past events the EEGS Foundation plans to again sponsor a Silent Auction. Past year's auctions have been very beneficial to the EEGS Foundation. We ask that you consider donating an item that can be sold to the highest bidder at the auction. All proceeds will benefit the EEGS Foundation. The EEGS Foundation is a 501(3)c charitable organization chartered to encourage the use of geophysical technologies and to aid those who endeavor to learn more about them: http://www.eegsfoundation.org/case-for-support.
Great auction items could include art, jewelry, mineral samples, gift baskets, vacation days at a hotel, portable electronics, signed sports, movie, or music memorabilia, fine wine or liquor, outdoors equipment, books, geophysical equipment and software, and gift cards and gift certificates. Think outside the box and donate now to this fun SAGEEP Silent Auction event! These gifts can come from individuals or organizations (talk to your employer!). You may also participate in the auction by purchasing one of these items, so you'll want to come prepared with your check or credit card!
The items can be mailed in advance (contact Jackie Jacoby regarding logistics) or brought to the registration desk at the beginning of the conference preferably before Sunday's Ice Breaker event. Details on contributing items and tax benefits can be found via this link http://www.eegsfoundation.org/#!page4/cfvg . Everything will be on display throughout the conference starting with Sunday evenings Ice Breaker and winners will be announced in the Exhibit Area on Wednesday at the mid-morning break. Once the item is purchased, you can take it with you or have it shipped (postage will be at additional expense to the purchaser).
Please contact Doug Laymon ([email protected]) if you would like any additional information on the auction. Thank you for your consideration of participating in this fund raiser for the EEGS Foundation and we look forward to seeing you in Nashville.

Geoscientists from all over the world are invited to submit abstracts to SAGEEP 2018. (Details at SAGEEP 2018 web site: www.EEGS.org/SAGEEP 2018/Abstracts & Sessions.) The 31st SAGEEP will be held March 25-29, 2018 in Nashville, Tennessee United States, a region of North America with numerous attributes of interest to near surface geophysicists. Karst features, including Mammoth Cave, are abundant within a short distance of Nashville; a few hundred miles west lies the New Madrid fault zone, site of two of the largest earthquakes in the continental US (1811-1812), and east Tennessee has issues related to coal mining as well as chemical and nuclear wastes. The Tennessee river flows east to west across most of the state with numerous dams and levees. These features, along with topics of national and international interest (infrastructure, renewable and unconventional energy, water, geohazards, unexploded ordnance, etc.) will form the core of a timely and relevant technical program.
Submit today and make note of the submission deadlines - abstracts are due 10/20/17! If you have questions, please contact the technical co-chairs at [email protected] and [email protected].
