Partnership of Two Leading Geophysical Societies Expands Research 
Available to their Members and Other Subscribers

DENVER, October 10, 2008 - The complete journal and proceedings 
archives of the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society 
have been added to the SEG Digital Library 
(http://www.segdl.org/), the Society of Exploration 
Geophysicists' publications portal on the Scitation platform 
operated by the American Institute of Physics.

All 13 volumes of the Journal of Environmental and Engineering 
Geophysics and all 21 annual proceedings of the Symposium on the 
Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental 
Problems are available within the EEGS Research Collection 
(www.segdl.org/eegsrc).

"Near-surface geophysics is a field of increasing importance, 
with a growing range of engineering, environmental, and resource 
applications," said Jonathan E. Nyquist, recently elected as EEGS 
president. "By putting JEEG and the SAGEEP Proceedings online 
within the SEG Digital Library, EEGS is giving the work of its 
member scientists exposure in the broader community of applied 
geophysicists and with researchers and practitioners in many 
other disciplines."

The complete JEEG and SAGEEP Proceedings archives are online 
thanks to a partnership between EEGS and SEG. In the SEG Digital 
Library, the EEGS Research Collection shares an interface and 
search engines with the SEG Research Collection 
(www.segdl.org/segrc), which includes Geophysics, The Leading 
Edge, the SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts, and the 
online version of the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Applied 
Geophysics, fourth edition. The EEGS publications have been added 
to the Digital Cumulative Index, SEG's bibliographic database of 
applied geophysics literature published by five geoscience 
societies.

"With EEGS publications, the SEG Digital Library has improved its 
coverage of geophysical applications in such areas as water 
resources, fault mapping, groundwater cleanup, and unexploded 
ordinance," said Fred Aminzadeh, SEG president. "Our alliance 
with EEGS will facilitate more technical innovation across the 
geophysics community."

EEGS members are gaining access to full-text articles in the EEGS 
Research Collection plus the SEG Technical Program Expanded 
Abstracts. SEG members are gaining access to the EEGS Research 
Collection in addition to the SEG Research Collection access they 
already enjoy.

Institutions subscribing to JEEG in print have gained access to 
the online EEGS Research Collection for the duration of 2008 and 
will have the opportunity to add continuing access for 2009. 
Institutions subscribing to SEG publications have obtained access 
to the EEGS Research Collection for the remainder of 2008 and can 
maintain that level of access with an upgraded subscription for 
2009.

"We are pleased to add EEGS publications to the Scitation 
platform, which is heavily used by researchers worldwide and 
where they will have a natural online home with a wide range of 
other engineering and physical science content," said Darlene 
Walters, AIP senior vice president, publishing.

Subscriptions to EEGS and SEG publications are available through 
AIP's Circulation and Fulfillment Service at +1-800-334-6908, 
+1-516-576-2270, or subs@aip.org. Rates are available at

The Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS) is 
an applied science organization founded in 1992 with headquarters 
in Denver, Colorado. EEGS promotes the application of geophysics 
to environmental and engineering problems primarily through its 
publications and its annual meeting (SAGEEP).

The Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), founded in 1930 
with headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is the world's largest 
professional applied geophysics society, with more than 30,000 
members in 130 countries. SEG promotes the science of geophysics 
and the education of a wide range of geoscientists. The society 
fosters the expert and ethical practice of geophysics in the 
exploration and development of natural resources, in 
characterizing the near surface, and in mitigating earth hazards. 
The society fulfills its mission through its publications, 
conferences, forums, Web sites, and educational programs.

The American Institute of Physics (AIP), founded in 1931, is a 
not-for-profit membership corporation created for the purpose of 
promoting the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of 
physics and its application to human welfare. It is the mission 
of the Institute to serve the sciences of physics and astronomy 
by serving its ten member societies, by serving individual 
scientists, and by serving students and the general public. AIP 
provides a spectrum of services and programs devoted to advancing 
the science and profession of physics. A pioneer in digital 
publishing, AIP is also one of the world's largest publishers of 
physics journals and produces the publications of more than 25 
scientific and engineering societies.
