Lastly, the 'community perspective', outlining community goals around interdisciplinarity, infrastructure and capacity building, embedding standards and reporting and documentation.
6/7
Second, the 'developer perspective', focusing on methodological challenges and opportunities in developing the next generation of Earth embeddings and centered around different approaches for obtaining them & interfaces for accessing them.
5/7
We then outline an Earth embedding research agenda, focusing on three different perspectives.
First, the 'user perspective' focuses on exploring impactful, application-driven work and guidelines for practitioners.
4/7
We then outline the different functions Earth embeddings fulfill and how they connect to the broader AI and foundation model ecosystem.
3/7
We first formally define Earth embeddings as vector representations of local features, initialized simply by space-time coordinates (lon, lat, time).

Embeddings are all the rage in #GeoAI, but no clear definition or shared research agenda exists in the space. Introducing "Earth Embeddings: Towards AI-centric Representations of our Planet", led by @estherrolf.bsky.social, @marccoru.bsky.social & me.

I'd be happy to!
How do we do more with biodiversity data we've already collected?
I gave a TED Talk on scientific discovery in ecological databases at a joint TED Countdown and Bezos Earth Fund event for #NYClimateWeek this year, and it's now live!

🚀🎉I'm excited to announce that I will be joining @ucl.ac.uk as Assistant Professor from Fall 2026 to start a new #GeoAI group & maintaining my affiliation w/ LGND to put my research into practice!
🇬🇧I'm also hiring PhD students (Dec 5 deadline)! More details 👉https://konstantinklemmer.github.io/
Models like DeepMind's AEF have a fixed embedding space; but how many "intrinsic" dimensions do they actually use?
Find out in our new paper led by Arjun Rao & w/ @estherrolf.bsky.social & @marccoru.bsky.social
