AGI Conducts Survey on the Use of Geologic Map Data
The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) is conducting a survey to determine the significance of geologic map data in the economy. For the purpose of this study, geologic map data includes not only traditional bedrock geologic maps, but also maps of any data of a generally immutable property of a location, such as gravity, magnetics, hazards/flood risk, etc. This survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. The results of this survey will be compiled into a freely-available public report, with a planned availability by mid-2018. This survey will close at 11:59pm EDT on May 31, 2018.

Digital, Online Only JEEG in 2019
In December of 2017, the EEGS Board of Directors voted to move to offer a digital Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (JEEG) exclusively.
Beginning with the March, 2019 issue, members and subscribers will access the Journal online only.
JEEG Editor Dale Rucker said this move to the digital production of the 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.

Copy Deadline Extended for FastTIMES Special Issue on Mine-Site Geophysics
 The proposed May issue of FastTIMES, Vol 23, 2 Special Issue on Mine-Site Geophysics, is now the June issue of FastTIMES and has an extended copy deadline of June 15 for articles, news and advertising.
The June issue features new Regular Columns on Agricultural Geophysics, UXO, Student Chapters and Archaeology as well as the regular Drone, Groundwater, Industry News and EEGS Foundation news columns.
The June Issue is being publicised with many mining sector Professional Societies (e.g. PDAC, CIM, AIME-SME, IMWA, ASMR, AusIMM etc) and we plan for it to have a wide notification and distribution among mining sector professionals. As well there is the regular notification going out to other key groundwater, geotechnical and environmental sector Societies and through these Societies, their members.
If you have news, a story to tell and would like it to reach a wider geoscience audience, please send all copy to FastTIMES Editor, Geoff Pettifer (contact: [email protected]; Tel: +1-360-989-6771).
For specific agricultural and drone geophysics and Student chapter items please send them to :-Angelos Lampousis for Agriculture Geophysics News (contact: [email protected]); Ron Bell for geoDRONE - drone news (contact: [email protected]); Nick Duda - Student Chapter News (contact: [email protected]).
Our Associate Editors are also available to discuss and accept FastTIMES content (see contacts for our Associate Editors at the bottom of the down load page: http://www.eegs.org/latest-issue).

Advertising in FastTIMES - Reach a Wider and Growing Geoscience and Engineering Audience
If as a consultant, contractor, equipment manufacturer / seller / renter, software developer / seller, or researcher / educator you would like to advertise your services to a wide audience, then advertising in FastTIMES is an attractive and affordable option. FastTIMES though its Special Issues and Regular Columns is reaching out to provide current awareness and relevance of near-surface geophysical techniques and applications to diverse geoscience and engineering sectors, through many of their Professional Societies (e.g. groundwater, geotechnical, infrastructure, environmental, UXO, archaeology / forensic sectors etc). Therefore advertising in FastTIMES is providing increase value as we grow our circulation and reach.
For example, if you have a particular interest in securing business and clients in the Mining sector (as well as other sectors), why not start in the June 2018 Special Issue on Mine Site Geophysics - advertising copy deadline is June 15th.

Environmental Geophysics Column in FastTIMES - Are you an Environmental Geophysics Champion? We Need Your Energy and Passion!
Are you passionate about the environment and environmental geophysics?
FastTIMES is seeking to regularly engage with and provide ongoing relevance to the end-users of geophysics in the environmental sector, and to do that with a Regular Environmental Geophysics Column in FastTIMES which will also include occasional articles on Environmental Geophysics.
We also plan to have Special Issues on particular environmental sustainability issues critical to the Americas and globally, such as our planned October 2018, FastTIMES Special Issue on environmental issues for the oil and gas sector (upstream and downstream).
 If you have the:
- interest, time and energy
- are passionate about environmental geophysics, and championing the benefits of use of environmental geophysics, in the role of the Regular Columnist on Environmental Geophysics in FastTIMES, and
- can see the benefit of expanding your networks and profile in the environmental sector through undertaking that role,
- are interested in sharing that role with someone, or
- you have an interest in just being a Guest Editor for a Special Issue of FastTIMES on a key environmental topic; for example, the abovementioned October 2018 Special Issue
