US Organisation - https://us-rse.org/ UK (but also worldwide) - https://society-rse.org/

There are RSEs who specialise in Earth Science, e.g. https://socrse.github.io/geoscience-sig/

This is what i immediately thought of too. Some more links;

PS: LinkedIn shows me a bunch of jobs with this designation (though many seem to be AI/ML related).

That's amazing! Thank you!
