EarthScope Consortium is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit geophysical science support organization.

[1] EarthScope Consortium operates two of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) major research facilities, the NSF Geodetic Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience (GAGE) and the NSF Seismological Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience (SAGE),[2][3] which provide geophysical instrumentation, data access, and services to support geoscience research and education.

[5] EarthScope Consortium was formed on January 1, 2023 through the merger of the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) and UNAVCO.

[6][7][8] Both founded in 1984, IRIS and UNAVCO supported the U.S. scientific community's access to data, instrumentation, and educational resources within seismology and geodesy, respectively.

[9][10] The "EarthScope Consortium" name is connected to IRIS and UNAVCO’s previous collaboration in the 2003–2018 NSF-funded EarthScope Program, which included operation of the USArray and Plate Boundary Observatory components.
