With only a month left to register at reduced Early Bird rates, don't miss out on attending - and saving. Register now for the 32nd Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems (SAGEEP 2019)!
The Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS) and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), are partnering to bring the near surface community 3 conferences for the price of one.
 This year, SAGEEP has expanded, offering two sister conferences focusing on Geohazards and Shallow Marine / Coastal Geophysics, bringing a new level of depth to this iconic symposium. Experts in geophysics, geology and the near surface field are invited to join colleagues and other geoscientists in Portland, Oregon March 17-21, 2019 to explore the latest research in the field.
Once registered, make your hotel reservations at the host hotel, Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront Hotel, where EEGS has negotiated a special SAGEEP rate (deadline is Feb. 21, 2019).
Booking your stay at the conference hotel not only saves you money, but also helps EEGS:
- control the costs of organizing SAGEEP;
- offer registrants the lowest registration rates possible;
- and avoid possible penalties for falling short of our guarantee.
SAGEEP 2019 Includes:
- The Geohazards Conference;
- The Shallow Marine / Coastal Geophysics Conference;
- A World Class Exhibition;
- In-depth Special Sessions;
- Outdoor Equipment Field Demonstrations;
- Two Not-to-be-Missed Field Trips;

Funding Available for Environmental and Installation Energy Technology Demonstrations
The Department of Defense (DoD), through the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP), supports the demonstration of technologies that address priority DoD environmental and installation energy requirements. The goal of ESTCP is to promote the transfer of innovative technologies through demonstrations that collect the data needed for regulatory and DoD end-user acceptance. Projects conduct formal demonstrations at DoD facilities and sites in operational settings to document and validate improved performance and cost savings.
ESTCP is seeking proposals for demonstrations of innovative environmental and installation energy technologies as candidates for funding beginning in FY 2020. The solicitation requests pre-proposals via Calls for Proposals to Federal organizations and via a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Private Sector organizations. Pre-proposals are due March 7, 2019 by 2 p.m. ET.
Detailed instructions are on the ESTCP website under Funding Opportunities.

Last Printed JEEG Mailed in 2018
The EEGS Board of Directors voted to offer a digital Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (JEEG) to all members and subscribers. The last printed issue was mailed in December, 2018. 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!
December, 2018 Vol. 23.4 Journal Available Online
Editor Dale Rucker announced the publication and availability of the December, 2018 special issue (Vol. 23.4) of the Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (JEEG). This is the last printed edition, arriving in the mail at the end of December. It is available to members online at https://www.eegs.org/jeeg-current-issue (scroll to EEGS Research Collection link). This special issue features the 9th International Workshop on Advanced Ground Penetrating Radar - IWAGPOR2017.
