Satellite imagery shows the impact of summer heatwaves on European landscapes, including wildfires, retreating glaciers, and dried-up rivers, attributed to climate change.
Folding Globes is a free web tool that converts openly licensed satellite imagery into printable paper globe templates you can cut and fold yourself.
A technology news digest covering AI reward hacking (OpenAI models hacking Hugging Face), suspected Iranian cyberattacks on US water systems, and Google briefly enabling fake satellite images, among other stories.
Google Earth briefly released an AI feature for creating fake satellite images, then quickly retracted it over concerns it could undermine trust in genuine satellite imagery and enable misinformation. Experts question whether Google's SynthID watermarking is sufficient to prevent abuse.
Satellite imagery confirms new Iranian missile and drone strikes damaged Amazon data centers in Bahrain and the UAE, while Houthi attacks threaten Saudi oil exports, signaling a widening Middle East conflict.
Ai2 introduces the OlmoEarth Platform, an infrastructure for running geospatial AI inference at continental scale, enabling applications like deforestation monitoring and wildfire risk using their family of Earth observation foundation models.
The European Union has agreed to a 24-hour delay in releasing Copernicus satellite imagery for the Iran war region following a US request, increasing friction for journalists and researchers already affected by restrictions from US satellite firms.
Satellite images reveal that at least 25 suspected scam compounds have appeared in Myanmar's Myawaddy region since early 2024, indicating that last year's crackdowns did little to halt the expanding criminal operations, which involve human trafficking and global online scams.
This paper proposes a scalable framework using satellite imagery and building morphology to map intra-urban affluence variation across Indian cities, validated with ground-level observations.
Satellite interferometry from ESA's Sentinel-1 shows ground displacement up to 30 centimeters after Venezuela's twin earthquakes, revealing deformation along the San Sebastián fault system.
New satellite images from Copernicus and NASA reveal the destruction caused by the June 24 earthquakes in Venezuela, aiding rescue efforts and damage assessment.
TerraDiT-Ω is a unified spatial control framework for satellite image synthesis that accepts any native geospatial primitive and uses Geometry-Aware Local Attention, outperforming previous dense and sparse control methods across multiple downstream tasks.
A new study in PNAS introduces the concept of an 'urban pulse' measured via remote sensing data, revealing three key vital signs of urbanization that could inform urban planning policy.
A study evaluating the Prithvi-EO-2.0 foundation model for satellite-based flood mapping across 19 diverse global flood events, finding that detection accuracy is jointly governed by land cover and flood type.
ABot-Earth 0.5 is a generative 3D framework that synthesizes realistic 3D urban environments from satellite imagery using 3D Gaussian Splatting, enabling real-time visualization and closed-loop UAV navigation at low cost.
