        CALL FOR PAPERS

       SAGEEP 2002

 The Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS) invites you to submit a paper for presentation at the 2002 Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems (SAGEEP 2002).    The conference will be held in Las Vegas, NV February 10-13 at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino.    In addition to world class oral and poster presentations on the application and recent developments in applied geophysics, there will be a suite of workshops, as well as an exhibition showcasing geophysical products and services.  

Under the able direction of Dr. Ken Zonge, General Chair, and Dr. Mary Poulton, Technical Chair, a program is being organized to further the knowledge and understanding as well as improve the skills of the attendees with regard to the application of geophysical methods to engineering and environmental problems.    With this in mind, we request papers that present your recent experience in utilization of geophysics or that informs the customer of geophysical data, instrumentation, or  services of the recent advances and refinements in the discipline.   The presentation of case histories is encouraged.   While suggestions for session topics are welcome, the following topics are being planned:

 

Abandoned Mine Lands                                                          Airborne Geophysics

Archeology                                                                              Borehole Logging

Brown Fields Assessment                                                          Contaminant Studies

Data Integration, Visualization, Processing                            Electrical and Electromagnetic Methods           

Extreme Geophysics                                                                Forensic Geophysics

Geophysical Data and GIS                                                      Geotechnical Engineering

Ground Penetrating Radar                                                     Groundwater Exploration and Protection

Infrastructure Studies                                                               Lakes, Rivers, and Offshore Surveys

Landfill Characterization and Monitoring                               Mapping Voids and Cavities

Mine Site Characterization and Monitoring                           Radioactive Waste Disposal

Fracture Mapping                                                                    Seismic Surface Waves

Seismic Reflection Developments                                           Subsidence

Subsurface Imaging in 3D                                                       Toxic Waste Management & Mitigation

UXO and Land Mine Detection                                               Vibration Monitoring

Several of the technical sessions will be geared towards the non‑geo­physical practitioner or researcher.  For these sessions, we are seeking case histories in areas of civil engineering, geolog­ical engineering, mining engineering, infrastructure assessment, brown fields assessment, and groundwater hydrology.

 Abstracts, not to exceed 200 words, are due no later than July 15, 2001 and should include a title with the authors, name, address, affiliation, telephone and numbers, as well as an e‑mail address.  If accepted, full manuscripts will be required by December 1, 2001 for oral and poster presentations.    Please indicate your  presentation preference: oral or poster.    Also indicate if you would like to be a session chair.  Authors will be required to sign a Transfer of Copyright Form for publication of full manuscripts into the SAGEEP Proceedings.    Submit your abstract as hard‑copy, or electronically to:
