Incredibly rewarding to see foundational AI research translate into tools that millions of people rely on.

@GoogleDeepMind's AlphaEarth model is now powering high-resolution precise pollen maps for @googlemaps and Pixel Weather in the US - just in time for allergy season! 🌳🤧

Here’s an example showing pollen-producing Maple trees in New Jersey

[Google Earth @googleearth]

We’re releasing a new satellite imagery dataset that provides a more detailed, actionable historical snapshot of the Brazilian landscape to help protect Brazil’s forests. Learn more about how we worked in collaboration with @gestaogovbr and @mmeioambiente to create this dataset and how to access it in @GoogleEarth and #EarthEngine: https://t.co/AtCV8Aq0my

🚀 Didn't manage to catch our launch last week?

We've got you covered!

Relive the highlights of our latest Ariane 6 flight #VA264 launching @EUMETSAT's Metop-SG-A1 and @CopernicusEU's Sentinel-5A to orbit!

[Group on Earth Observations @GEOSecretariat]

From scientists to data specialists, policy leaders to on-the-ground implementers, the GEO community works tirelessly to co-produce user-driven Earth Intelligence solutions.

In this short film, hear directly from some of the people shaping and sharing the GEO mission.

[ESA Earth Observation @ESA_EO]

Launching in less than 12 hours is the next member of the @CopernicusEU family: Sentinel-5!

The Copernicus Sentinel-5 mission consists of an advanced imaging spectrometer hosted on the MetOp Second Generation A-type weather satellite.

The mission’s data supports science, forecasts and public health alerts for air pollution, UV radiation, greenhouse gases and climate, for the benefit of both citizens and the economy.

From logging to wildfires, our forests tell a story of change. 🌲🔥 See what’s being done to protect these vital ecosystems #onEarth→ https://t.co/YRinUfBmKx

[Milos @milos_gis]

Google has unveiled an incredible update: Earth Engine now features annual 10 m Satellite Embeddings (64 bands per pixel) fueled by the groundbreaking AlphaEarth Foundations model! This means you can effortlessly perform classification, change detection, regression, and similarity search without the hassle of training heavy models.

This weekend I'm releasing a new video that guides you through the exciting process of running the same workflow in R—loading the embeddings, sampling, k-means clustering, and visualizing the stunning results.

Don't miss out—subscribe now to catch all the action 👉🏻 https://t.co/VMqCi7KkGr

[ESA Earth Observation @ESA_EO]

There will soon be another @CopernicusEU mission in space: launching in only 4 days, Sentinel-5 carries a powerful UVNS spectrometer designed to monitor key atmospheric gases — from ozone and nitrogen dioxide to methane and carbon monoxide.

It delivers daily, global data to track air quality and support climate action worldwide.

[Google AI @GoogleAI]

Today, we're introducing AlphaEarth Foundations from @GoogleDeepMind , an AI model that functions like a virtual satellite which helps scientists make informed decisions on critical issues like food security, deforestation, and water resources. AlphaEarth Foundations provides a powerful new lens for understanding our planet by solving two major challenges: data overload and inconsistent information.

1️⃣ It combines information from dozens of sources to analyze the world's land and coastal waters in 10x10 meter squares, allowing for remarkable precision while tracking changes over time.

2️⃣ The system's key innovation is creating a highly compact summary for each square. These summaries require 16x less storage than those produced by other AI systems and enables scientists to create detailed, consistent maps of our planet, on-demand.

AlphaEarth Foundations represents a significant step forward in understanding the state and dynamics of our changing planet. 🌎🌎🌎

[Qiusheng Wu @giswqs]

Google just released the AlphaEarth Foundations with 64 dimensions of satellite embeddings at 10-m resolution at the global scale! It is very interesting! Check it out
