The talks introduce GEE with a focus on the latest remote sensing foundational model from GDM, AlphaEarth Foundations. Unified Data Representation: They integrate vast and diverse Earth observation data—including optical satellite images, radar, 3D laser mapping, and climate simulations—into a single, unified embedding that computers can easily process. High Efficiency and Detail: The embeddings are highly compact, requiring 16 times less storage space than other tested AI systems, which dramatically reduces the cost of planetary-scale analysis while still characterizing the Earth in sharp 10x10 meter squares. Accurate, On-Demand Mapping: This technology enables scientists to create detailed and consistent maps on-demand with high accuracy, even in areas with sparse data, to better monitor critical issues like deforestation, urban expansion, and water resources.
