arXiv:2605. 03383v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Geological interpretation infers subsurface properties and structures from indirect geophysical observations.
arXiv:2606. 25000v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To evaluate whether vision-language models can reason about geological histories, it is necessary to construct observations for which the underlying process history is known.
arXiv:2605. 24844v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While general-purpose Large Language Models (LLMs) applied to Geology often hallucinate when reasoning about subsurface structures and deep-time evolution, current AI in Earth sciences predominantly targets surface remote sensing and GIS.
arXiv:2608. 09276v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Planetary geology relies on historical, interpretive reasoning to reconstruct past events from diverse observations.
arXiv:2607. 22804v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate geological characterization of subsurface reservoirs from well log data is essential to support projects such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), geothermal development, and extraction of natural resources.
Beyond perception, reasoning is essential in remote sensing for advanced interpretation, inference, and decision-making. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled tool-augmented agents that leverage external tools to perform complex analytical tasks.
arXiv:2606. 12821v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Environmental scientists spend disproportionate effort on data wrangling rather than analysis, and AI agents that automate geospatial workflows remain unvalidated: no benchmark evaluates agents operating through structured tool calling against real APIs.
arXiv:2606. 13148v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Climate and environmental decision-making increasingly requires reasoning across heterogeneous inputs, including gridded physical data, satellite imagery, geospatial context, and simulator outputs.
arXiv:2604. 26051v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The increasing number of satellites has improved the temporal resolution of Earth observation, making satellite-based flood mapping a promising approach for operational flood monitoring.
arXiv:2607. 15781v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Geospatial datasets support applications from urban planning to climate modeling, yet consistent assessment of FAIR compliance is difficult.
arXiv:2607. 16050v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pluvial (rainfall-driven) flooding accounts for 45% of National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) claims in the United States and is harder to predict than its riverine and coastal counterparts, with existing approaches limited to coarse resolution, regional domains, or computationally intensive process-based models unsuitable for daily continental-scale use.
Newly triggered landslides rarely carry immediate annotations, so cross-domain transferability determines the value of landslide mapping for emergency response and regional risk assessment. Vision foundation models have strengthened representational transfer, yet on unseen regions, events, and data sources they still generate high-confidence false alarms.
