Just-Accepted Articles are peer-reviewed, accepted manuscripts that have been assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and undergo the normal publication process (copy editing, page composition, proofing by author, and finalization). A just-accepted article is removed when the final version of the manuscript is ready and assigned to a Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (JEEG) issue, becoming the official version of the article. The Just Accepted article has the same DOI that appears on the official version of the article; therefore, citations made to an article during the Just-Accepted stage will continue to link to the article's official version.

Editors’ Foreword Afshin Aghayan
Aleksandra Varnavina

As we reach the conclusion of 2024 with the publication of this issue, we find ourselves reflecting with
both gratitude and anticipation on our roles as editors-in-chief of the Journal of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics (JEEG). Volume 29, Issue 4 features three notable papers that advance our understanding of environmental geophysics and engineering.

In the first paper, Lachhab et al. (2024) introduce a novel method that integrates laboratory direct dielectric permittivity measurements with Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys to assess sediment thicknesses in Faylor Lake accurately. Their findings reveal dynamic changes over time, indicating a sedimentation rate of approximately 3,727 cubic meters per year since the lake’s inception in 1983. This study underscores the importance of advanced methodologies in understanding sediment dynamics in aquatic systems.

The second paper by LeBlanc and Butler (2024) illustrates the viability of using electromagnetics (EM) to detect and characterize water-bearing geohazards proximal to underground conventional potash mines through computer modeling and field data. They overcome the challenges inherent in the full-space operation of EM by utilizing a full-space physics forward modeling package, COMSOL, the careful selection of survey parameters, and other a priori geological and geophysical information to constrain the EM response.

In the third paper, Rong et al. (2024) build a seismic model with significant lateral velocity variations and bare bedrock to perform theoretical calculations, and then used numerical simulation techniques to study the conditions and application consequences of the first arrival tomographic static correction, providing a reference for the static correction of challenging surface coal bed methane (CBM) seismic data. The findings demonstrate that tomographic static correction is better suited for processing complicated surface CBM seismic data.

As we wrap up our tenure as editors-in-chief, we sincerely appreciate the opportunity to contribute to such a distinguished journal. It is with great pleasure that we welcome Professor Allen Gontz as the new editor-in-chief of JEEG. Dr. Gontz, a prominent professor of Applied Geology at Clarkson University, brings a wealth of expertise and a keen interest in environmental and engineering geophysics. His extensive research spans all seven continents, focusing on projects that connect geology with archaeology and climate change within UNESCO World Heritage Areas. At Clarkson, he has used geophysical techniques to illustrate how they can be used in engineering situations to understand site architecture and environmental issues associated with societal activities. We have every confidence that JEEG will thrive and evolve under his leadership.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the authors and reviewers for their invaluable contributions to the JEEG. The insights shared within these papers enhance our knowledge of environmental and engineering geophysics and inspire further research and innovation in our field.

Thank you for your engagement with the Journal of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics. We look forward to seeing JEEG’s continued growth and success under Dr. Gontz’s stewardship.
