Hey, did you know you can join and be active in multiple sections? No need to pick just one -- so ECR hydrogeophyiscs folks can work with @agu-h3s.bsky.social and our near-surface section, too.

Please submit your materials for the February issue of the AGU Near Surface Geophysics Newsletter here: forms.gle/11wudJu54t2Q... by the end of today, Friday January 23.

Are you a student pursuing a career in applied geophysics or related geosciences? Have you considered applying for an SEG Student Scholarship? seg.org/programs/stu... The scholarships average $2.8K, and every bit helps with school expenses! Don't delay, the deadline is 1 March 2026 ⚒️🧪

Are you interested in sharing your near-surface geophysics work with others? Don't forget two major abstract deadlines this week (Jan 15): SAGEEP 2026 www.eegs.org/sageep-2026 EGU26 www.egu26.eu ⚒️🧪

📣 We are happy to announce that we now have a dedicated AGU-NSG Slack group to facilitate more efficient communication with everyone. Visit our website for more info and links: connect.agu.org/nsg/home

Deadline! Applications for the 2026 Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience (SAGE) are due February 14. Participants work with industry pros, academics, and gov research scientists while using modern geophysical methods. Apply today! #geophysics ⚒️🧪 www.summerofappliedgeophysics.org

If responding to the NGF survey, you may also be interested in the 2023 findings & recommendations for an NSF-sponsored near-surface geophysics center integrating research and teaching could address critical challenges and promote community engagement and cultural change. ⚒️ eos.org/science-upda...

Don't forget to submit your comments on near-surface geophysics support at the NSF NSF National Geophysical Facility (NGF), to inform their planning.

This account will be taking a break to bask in the glow of post-AGU science and innovation until January! See you in the new year. 🌅

🎉 Congratulations to Seogi Kang and Sihong Wu, recipients of the 2025 GW Hohmann Award for Excellence in Electrical Geophysics! ⚒️🧪 Learn more about the award and the early-career scientists' work in EM geophysics: www.hohmannwannamakertrust.org/awards

Got opinions? The newly funded U.S. NSF National Geophysical Facility (NGF) will be expanding support for near-surface geophysics and they want your input on what will best serve community needs. ⚒️🧪 www.surveymonkey.com/r/nsg-ngf25

You made it to Friday! The near-surface geophysics community had a busy #AGU25 week connecting on everything from IP to DAS and more. Thanks to everyone who organized, presented, and engaged this week. ⚒️🧪 (1/2)

Happening Wednesday! Drop by, say hi, and connect with new and old colleagues. Celebrate making it through day 3. It's a very friendly crowd, so don't be shy about stopping by if it's your first time attending. #AGU25

Tuesday's #AGU\25 hydro & near-surface macgyver poster session was jam-packed with sensor creativity and DIY ingenuity! Missed it? Check out the website for all of the macgyver sessions & how to get involved: macgyver-sessions.github.io

Hey, it's Kristina Keating, our near-surface geophysics section President-elect!

Go learn about EConflux and then follow Chris over to the Near-Surface Geophysics Student & Early-Career mixer afterward to continue the discussion at the Flamingo A Go Go from 6:30-8:30PM. 🦩 bsky.app/profile/czne...

Also, tomorrow: this Monday afternoon NSG #AGU25 poster session highlights open-source tools — including software, datasets, and documentation — that you can use in your near-surface work. agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/me...

This #AGU25 NSG session focuses on electromagnetic and seismic methods in both field and laboratory investigations. Hope to see you there! bsky.app/profile/czne...

Heading to #AGU25? Are you a student or early-career research working in or interested in near-surface applications of geophysics? Join us Monday evening for a fun and informal mixer, 6:30-8:30PM at flamingonola.com

The near-surface geophysics community has been a part of the MacGyver sessions from the start! Be sure to visit the Tuesday AM MacGyver "geosphere" session featuring near-surface geophysics and hydrology posters: eppro01.ativ.me/web/index.ph...

Near-surface geophysics folks! Come join us Wednesday evening for an informal hangout at the Rusty Nail, Wednesday evening 7-9PM. rustynailnola.com For more NSG #AGU25 events, visit our website: connect.agu.org/nsg ⚒️🧪

Did you know the Near-Surface Section now has a slack group? Join before #AGU25 to have an easy way to connect and plan with other near-surface geophysics folks during the meeting! (Details and the link to join were in the section December 1st newsletter that went out via email.)

AGU25 Town Hall of interest to the near-surface geophysics community:

Kristina is the near-surface section President-elect! Meet and connect with Kristina and other near-surface community members at the the section socials at #AGU25. Mon: Student & Early Career Social Tues: Women of Color Social; Section Reception Wed: Section Social See the newsletter for details!

Be sure to reach out and connect with Chris at AGU25 in a few weeks!

⚒️ Interested in some fiber optic sensing training? Join CTEMPS for their one-day workshop Wednesday of #AGU25! Covering both DTS and DAS, this hot-topic workshop is sure to fill fast! agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/me... Learn more: ctemps.org/sites/ctemps... #geophysics

Congratulations to community member Lindsey Heagy, recipient of the @agu.org 2025 Near-Surface Geophysics Early Career Achievement Award 🎊. #geophysics ⚒️ 🧪

Calling all near-surface #geophysics students! Whether it's ERT, GPR, DAS, or another method, show off your data visualization skills and tell the story of your science by entering this AGU competition. That award to the prize winners could make a big difference in your #AGU25 travel costs. ✈️ 🏨 🎟️

What near-surface #geophysics datasets should they consider including? Submit your suggestions! #scidata ⚒️🧪

🌍 Where in the world have you been doing geophysics this summer? Share your photos with us! Here's Jonathan Ajo-Franklin, the AGU near-surface section president, checking in recently from Utah while working on a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) project. #FieldWork #geophysics ⚒️🧪

Who doesn't love a good seismic survey field training, complete with sledgehammer! ⚒️ Be sure to click through to learn more about Danielle Kinkel's work as an EarthScope summer intern and a PhD candidate in #geophysics at the Nevada Seismological Laboratory. 🧪

All the prep for this year's fall meeting abstracts has us reflecting back on the great near-surface sessions in DC last year! The near-surface posters were abuzz with scientific chatter and discussion, with folks reconnecting with past collaborators and meeting new ones!

Some great geophysics events coming up this month!

We're here! The AGU near-surface geophysics section is excited to connect with community, share resources, and boost announcements. We focus on geophysical methods to study the near-surface region of the Earth & address key questions about subsurface properties and processes. ⚒️🧪
