G-I News
A new look for the G-I website
The G-I website has a new look which
should make your visits more informa-
tive, helpful and easier to navigate. All
the information you are looking for
has been categorized into “buckets.”
Those buckets, following the ASCE
website template, include: Knowledge
& Learning, Leadership & Manage-
ment, Issues & Advocacy and Mem-
bership & Community.
In addition, there are five new cat-
egories of information: Companies,
Geo-Professionals, Members, Students
and Young Professionals. Take a look
for yourself at www.asce.org/geo.
JEEG wants your manuscripts
The majority of Environmental and
Engineering Geophysical Society
(EEGS) members and Journal of Envi-
ronmental and Engineer Geophysics
(JEEG) readers are involved in inter-
esting and innovative studies. Whether
it is developing a new process or
approach, modifying present applica-
tions, or applying a common technique
in an innovative manner, the JEEG
readership would like to know what
YOU are doing. JEEG Editor, Janet
Simms, encourages you to document
your experiences and submit them to
JEEG.
JEEG is an internationally recognized
journal in geophysics, has an impact
factor of 0.837 (2010), and is acces-
sible through both SEG and EAGE
libraries, and GeoScience World
(GSW), a library database subscribed
to by the majority of universities and
colleges with a geoscience curriculum.
Information on submitting a manu-
script to JEEG can be found at http://
jeeg.allentrack.net/.
