EarthScope Consortium awarded National Geophysical Facility

[EarthScope]

EarthScope Consortium awarded National Geophysical Facility Dear EarthScope Community,  In June 2024, EarthScope Consortium submitted a proposal to the National Science Foundation to operate the National Geophysical Facility (NGF). We are thrilled to announce that EarthScope has been selected as the operator of NSF NGF. Joydip Kundu, the Directorate Head for the NSF Directorate for Geosciences, sends this note: “NSF has long supported infrastructure driving transformative advances in the geophysical sciences. The new facility will continue that legacy while expanding to novel approaches.” Many of you provided input and ideas leading up to the development of the proposal, and we are grateful to the community for their vision for the future of geophysics. We’re committed to a smooth transition from the NSF SAGE and NSF GAGE facilities to the new NSF NGF, so you should see foundational capabilities continue even as new activities grow. Please get involved, either through our formal oversight bodies (nominations welcome!) or by collaborating with us on your research and teaching. We are excited to continue to support science and education through the operation of NSF NGF for years to come. We’ll be posting more details about the capabilities and structure of the NGF over the next weeks and months, as they are implemented. None of the core capabilities that have supported community geophysics under NSF SAGE or NSF GAGE will be retired, and some new things will be coming, so you can expect the same (or even better) facility support as in years past.
