Innovation to Impact. See you at the July ESIP Meeting.
Earth Comms
Earth Communications Cluster
ACTIVE
What we do: Connect Earth science communicators through shared tools, candid discussions, and monthly calls.
Why we do it: Because no one communicates alone — and Earth science deserves better storytelling, strategy, and support.
The Earth Comms Cluster is a community space for Earth science communicators to gather, learn from one another, and strengthen our work.
Each month, we meet to discuss the real-world challenges of communicating science — from crafting narratives to managing multi-channel campaigns with minimal resources. Every March, June, September, and December we host a meet and greet; all our other meetings are low-key discussions and knowledge sharing.
Our goal is to be a trusted community and a gentle productivity engine for the people behind the messages. New participants are welcome!
Join us on the third Friday each month at 1 PM U.S. Eastern Time. Every season we host a meet and greet session (March, June, September, December). Register through the ESIP Community Calendar.
Cluster Ethos
Earth science organizations don’t speak for themselves. And content creators need community support to fulfill their multifaceted work. Someone — often a single person or small team — juggles multiple channels and campaigns.
Our discussion group has provided insights, shared tools, and built lists that help us get our individual work done while moving towards the Earth science data community’s collective goals for environmental and data stewardship.
We are not a training space or volunteer ad agency — we’re peers helping peers. We swap templates, share calendars, and occasionally collaborate on mutual challenges.
The group aspires to facilitate and further collaboration and innovation between communications professionals in the Earth Science and Earth Observation communities.
Interested in collaborating? Our Cluster is open to working together:
- Join our monthly call to get advice or share a project
- Introduce yourself on our Slack channel and share an upcoming event
- Tell your coworkers about us – especially comms and outreach staff
- Share an idea you have for an interactive ESIP Meeting breakout session
- Invite us to present at your ESIP Cluster call
