Our new AI model AlphaEarth Foundations is mapping the planet in astonishing detail. 🌏🔍 The system’s public datasets will help scientists better plot and track planetary changes over time. This could include critical issues like water resources, deforestation, urban expansion, and more – in hours, instead of weeks or months. Organizations like the United Nations FAO, Group on Earth Observations and MapBiomas are already using it to create powerful custom maps and drive real-world insights. The annual embedding datasets from our model are available now in Google Earth Engine. AlphaEarth Foundations is a significant step forward in understanding our changing planet and we’re excited to see how it can accelerate work in vital mapping initiatives.

So cool! Someone could make an amazing simulation or even a simulation game out of this data set and model.
That's truly great news for the environment
Big thanks for sharing
Excited for this 🔥
This is a huge leap for geospatial research. What stands out most is not just the accuracy or scale, but the temporal resolution, being able to track changes in ecosystems, land use, and infrastructure as they happen rather than waiting weeks or months for processed data. That kind of speed is not just a technical upgrade. It changes who can act, when, and how. Local governments, NGOs, and researchers often lack the resources to process satellite imagery quickly. A model like AlphaEarth Foundations levels that playing field by making insights more accessible, not just to big institutions but to small teams doing high-impact work. It also opens the door to more dynamic decision-making. Think drought response, illegal logging detection, or rapid urban planning. When we have up-to-date earth data on demand, we can shift from reactive to proactive intervention. Excited to see how this reshapes environmental monitoring and planetary-scale problem solving.
Absolutely amazing
Mind-blowing advancement. AlphaEarth Foundations is a planetary-scale lens for precision decision-making! Game-changer for environmental intelligence.
