The EarthScope DEIA Committee’s mission is to lead and coordinate efforts to expose and act upon all forms of racism and discrimination in Geophysics and the broader Geosciences communities by modernizing institutional behaviors and policies to be more equitable and inclusive. The EarthScope DEIA Committee will facilitate an open feedback environment to drive collaboration, encourage input from stakeholders, and communicate the impacts that committee-coordinated activities have on the EarthScope staff and scientific community.
The charter for the EarthScope DEIA Committee includes the expectations and responsibilities of the committee and its members, and the
EarthScope DEIA Action Plan outlines the priorities of this committee and the EarthScope organization. On this committee we aim to have representation from all directorates of the EarthScope organization, as well as a diversity of lived experience, institutional knowledge, and interests. No prior formal training is required, although members may take training as part of their responsibilities.
We welcome statements of interest from current staff at EarthScope. Responses collected will be reviewed by the EarthScope DEIA Committee. The committee currently meets every other Tuesday from 2-3pm ET on Zoom; scheduling may change depending on availability of members.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with the current committee members via DEIA@earthscope.org. If you are interested in participating in DEI actions but not as a committee member, please join the #inclusion Slack channel for announcements of opportunities to get involved.
