Call for Abstracts - Deadline Extension Announced!
SAGEEP 2019 organizers have granted an extension to the abstract submission deadline. Nov. 29 is the deadline to submit your abstract to SAGEEP 2019. Short abstracts with at least 300 words are welcome. Extended abstracts will follow the PDF formatting template. All guidelines are found on the SAGEEP 2019 Abstract Submission site. Reminder: We're on our new platform, so everyone submitting will need to create an account upon their first login.
But, now's the time to take a moment and submit your abstract for presentation at SAGEEP 2019. The call for abstracts is set to close November 29, 2018! Make plans to join us in Portland, Oregon, March 17-21, 2019 to explore the latest research in the near surface field, engaging with topics around the application of geophysics to a variety of problems.
SAGEEP is North America's foremost near surface conference and sets the stage for the field going forward. Those interested in presenting at SAGEEP in 2019 should check out our website where you can find more information on submitting your abstract(s).

Three Conferences and an Exhibition: One Price
This year, in addition to the popular 32nd Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems, and our world class exhibition of near surface industry companies, SAGEEP 2019 will also host two sister conferences: the Geohazards Conference, and the Shallow Marine/Coastal Geophysics Conference. These three complementary conferences will run side-by-side during SAGEEP 2019, and offer the breadth and depth necessary to explore some of the main themes of the near surface field. Learn more about each conference, and the topics explored in each, over at our call for abstracts.
SAGEEP also hosts an impressive exhibition which features 44 of the most innovative companies working in near surface. You can also join us for our Outdoor Demonstrations where you will see the operation of our exhibitors' cutting-edge technology.

Texas Retains Registration of Professional Geoscientists
On Nov. 20, the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission decided to retain the Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists and to retain Professional Geologist registration in Texas. The Commission has recommended other policy changes. Many individuals and societies worked with the Commission to insure that Professional Geologists Registration continues in Texas.
Call for Volunteers - EEGS Membership Committee 
The lifeblood of any membership society is its members. We need volunteers to serve on the Membership Committee for the 2019/2020 term to:
- help identify potential new members,
- develop and communicate new member benefits, and
- participate in efforts to retain our current members.
EEGS is the premier membership organization representing near surface geophysics. Ours is a "big tent" society with members from diverse disciplines such as engineers, practitioners, academicians, students, service providers, manufacturers, software developers, and more. Why not lend your support to help grow the association, add benefits to the existing roster and identify strategies to let the geophysics world know of EEGS' existence and value to the profession? This Committee has EEGS staff support to help implement programs and benefits - we need your perspective and passion! If you think you can contribute in this rewarding role, please contact Lia Martinez [email protected], EEGS Membership Committee Chair.
What's the Big Deal with EEGS Membership?
14 Months of Membership for the Price of 12!

Reminder: Digital, Online Only JEEG in 2019
The EEGS Board of Directors voted to offer a digital Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (JEEG) to all members and subscribers. 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!
