First Announcement: 2010 Joint
Assembly Meeting of the Americas, 08-13 August, Foz do
Iguassu, Brazil (from Juan Lorenzo, JA 2010 NS Program
Representative)
The Near Surface Focus Group
(NSFG) is a new and dynamic division of AGU that
investigates the complex nature of near-surface geosystems.
Join us in this wonderful opportunity to tap the great
diversity of experience of the American continents and
develop professional collaborations with neighbors. In late
fall we will begin to accept proposals for sessions, but
start thinking about it now. Contact a colleague to organize
a session with a north-south counterpoint.
-Students are encouraged to collaborate and develop a session.
-Information about the meeting can be found at
http://www.agu.org/meetings/ja10.
-If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Juan Lorenzo (gllore@lsu.edu).

Society of Exploration
Geophysicists calls for papers
SEG's The Leading Edge (TLE) publishes special sections each
month highlighting emerging or active areas of applied
geophysics. A hydrogeophysics special section is scheduled
for the October 2009 issue of TLE. The deadline for
submitting papers to be considered is June 18, 2009. If you
have any questions, or would like to submit a paper for
consideration, please contact Rick Miller
rmiller@kgs.ku.edu

Call for
papers: Special Issue on “Student-Based Research” in EAGE
journal of Near Surface Geophysics. Abstract deadline: 1
July 2009
We wish to promote
student-based research and encourage current undergraduate
and postgraduate students to submit high-quality papers to
the special issue as lead or major co-authors. Topics of
interest are only required to fulfill the scope of the Near
Surface Geophysics Journal, but we are particularly
interested in -Innovative measurement, assessment and
monitoring techniques
-New and emerging geophysical methods and sensor
technologies
-New numerical/analytical modeling and inversion
techniques applied to practical problems
-The development of novel, integrated, multi-technique
imaging and characterization approaches
-The application of current geophysical techniques to
new application areas
-The analysis and re-evaluation of current data that
leads to new perspectives on existing problems
-Novel and interesting case histories/studies. In
addition, we welcome papers that highlight the quality and
novelty of student-based research and how it benefits the
near-surface geophysics community in terms of educational,
economic and professional development. Please see
here
for details or contact the guest editors Nigel Cassidy &
Jamie Pringle, Keele University, U.K. (
n.j.cassidy@esci.keele.ac.uk,
j.k.pringle@esci.keele.ac.uk).
