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:2607. 22408v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The renewed global focus on lunar exploration, driven by the prospect of in-situ resource utilization and a sustained human presence on the Moon, has created growing demand for accurate, large-scale characterization of the lunar surface.

arXiv:2607. 15768v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Remote sensing offers an unparalleled vantage point for observing the Earth's long-term surface evolution, yet it demands that a model not only perceive land cover at isolated moments, but also track changes, memorize evolution histories, and reason across time and space.

arXiv:2606. 18661v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intelligent landslide hazard interpretation is critical for disaster prevention, yet current paradigms struggle to simultaneously extract visual features and high-level geoscientific semantics, while general-purpose vision-language models (VLMs) suffer from perceptual limitations and domain hallucinations in complex geological scenarios.

arXiv:2607. 29527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A defining problem of the Anthropocene is to model the physical Earth and human societies as one coupled system, yet no learned representation spans their observational breadth.

arXiv:2607. 01584v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models have recently been explored for scientific hypothesis generation, but most prior work relies on unstructured literature and free-form textual claims.

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.
