Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (JEEG)

Park Seismic's ParkSEIS Mount Sopris Instruments Geometrics' Geode EM3D Advanced Geosciences, Inc. SAGA Geophysics, Inc. A Forward by the Editor 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. Granted, we are a small journal and the overall number of submissions to JEEG relative to other journals is quite low, but the number of submissions has increased every year and with this comes higher quality. We reject roughly 40% of articles now due to being low a quality submission relative to all of the other great work that I am happy to publish. The maturation process is happening organically and honestly, it is making my job a lot easier.  One particular area of growth and maturity has been in electromagnetics. Roughly 30% of the papers published in the last three and a half years has been

in TEM, AEM, CSAMT, MT, or other EM method. Eleven of these papers can be attributed to Dr. Guoqiang Xue of the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing China.Examples of work by him and his team can be found in Khan al. (2018), Li et al.(2018b,c), Xue (2018), Xue et al. (2018a,b,c,d), and Zhou et al. (2018). I have the fortunate privilege of having Dr. Xue as an associate editor for JEEG. Two other board members who specialize in EM, Antonio Menghini and Vincenzo Sapia, have also published in JEEG and I encourage you to familiarize yourself with their work if interested (e.g., Sapia et al., 2014; Vignoli et al., 2017). Some other favorites include Chang et al. (2017), Eadie et al.(2017),Li et al. (2018a), Ren et al. (2017), Wynn et al. (2016), and Yin et al. (2017).
