Latest issue of the FastTIMES Published - Special Issue on Near-Surface Geophysical Software

FastTIMES Volume 24, 4 Special Issue on Near-Surface Geophysical Software (Co-Edited by Sina Saneiyan) is available for download (from https://www.eegs.org/latest-issue), initially as a single document. Shortly we will be moving to segmenting the document to enable better tracking of reader’s interest and to provide improved exposure and value to advertisers. We will update you when that new publishing mode is ready for you to access and to trial.

Coming to the theme of NSG Geophysical Software, two Foreword contributions, give both the commercial geophysical software developer and the growing open source software community perspective, and these precede four articles profiling the use of Open Source software and seven articles profiling commercial software packages. Various useful open source softwares are also discussed in the Hydrogeophysics and Environmental Geophysics, Agricultural Geophysics, Infrastructure and Geotechnical Geophysics and the Archaeological and Forensic Geophysics regular columns.

JEEG Editor Reports Highest Impact Factor in Publication's History

Editor Dale Rucker, Ph.D., recently announced that according to Scopus, the Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (JEEG) has achieved a Scopus Cite Score of 2.17, the highest rating since the inception of the publication in 2003.  Rucker said the 2019 rating will rise further when the December, 2019 issue (24.4) is published and cited. Scopus is a source-neutral abstract and citation database curated by independent subject matter experts.

Latest issue of the FastTIMES Published -  US Infrastructure Geophysics

FastTIMES Vol 24, 3: Special Issue is available for download from FastTIMES' Latest Issue page.  This issue focuses on examples of how near-surface geophysical and non-destructive testing methods can help in addressing both new and existing infrastructure site investigation, condition assessment and monitoring challenges, with case histories from the US, Norway, UK and Italy.  Associate Editor Professor Nigel Cassidy, Professor of Professor of Geotechnical Infrastructure Engineering at the University of Birmingham, School of Engineering who is a passionate advocate for infrastructure geophysics and engineering and who gave a Keynote address as SAGEEP 2018 on the future of infrastructure is the Guest Editor for this Special Issue.

SAGEEP 20/20 Session Highlighted - Lessons Learned: When Things Don’t Go as Planned

Abstracts for SAGEEP 20/20 and the 1^st Munitions Response Meeting are due Friday, Oct. 25.  Have you taken a look at the list of sessions?  There are some pretty exciting topics - this one will prove to be interesting and informative. 

We all like to think that every single one of our projects will go as planned. All the data will roll in without any hitches, the geologic setting will be exactly as expected, the equipment will work as intended, and the sun will shine down on it all. Well, we all know that reality is often slightly different than that. Sometimes that sophisticated state-of-art equipment doesn’t cooperate, sometimes that nice sandy soil that the maps and client tell you about is actually clay rich, or that gently rolling hill is actually a cliff face. It happens to us all, we just don’t like to talk about it. Well, let’s change that. Let’s have some fun and share some of our most frustrating, and ultimately most rewarding work where we had to adapt on the fly and find a way to make it work. To make things even more interesting, there will be a trophy handed out at the end of the session for the craziest example of a job that didn’t quite follow the plan. No, it won’t be solid gold and won’t come with a cash prize, but bragging rights are worth more than all that, right?

Submit your lessons learned abstracts now!  SAGEEP 2020/1^st Munitions Response Meeting Abstract Submission Site.

Latest issue of the Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics Published

The September, 2019 issue (Vol. 24.3) of the JEEG has been published  According to Editor Dale Rucker "From my perspective, one of the largest accomplishments of my tenure over the past three years is the growth of the journal. When I talk of growth, I not only mean the number of submissions and articles published, but also in terms of maturity."  Click on the September, 2019 issue link to read more from the editor and to check out the current issue!

Call for Abstracts is Open!  Submit by October 4, 2019

EEGS and EAGE Collaborate to Produce SAGEEP

Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS) and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) representatives signed a joint agreement at SAGEEP 2018 in Nashville, Tennessee outlining the collaborative efforts which will be used to produce SAGEEP, beginning with SAGEEP 2019 in Portland, Oregon March 17-21, 2019. With a shared intent to provide the near surface geophysics community with the highest quality and most timely solutions possible to geophysical engineering and environmental problems and cutting edge research, the two groups have already begun to target topics and areas of interest across multiple disciplines. The architects of the agreement believe combined efforts will result in an enhanced SAGEEP experience, a wider audience and the growth necessary to sustain this important, unique educational offering in the near surface geophysical marketplace.
