Abstract

Geospatial foundation models such as the AlphaEarth Foundation produce compact and globally consistent representations of the Earth's surface that transfer effectively to a wide range of downstream tasks. However, because these models are trained primarily on Earth-observation imagery, their embeddings mainly capture physical and spectral characteristics while encoding human activity and urban fun
