arXiv:2607. 27217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is a critical indicator of ecosystem productivity and terrestrial carbon storage, yet regional carbon monitoring remains constrained by the sparse spatial and temporal availability of field inventories and airborne structural measurements.
arXiv:2608. 04792v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate estimation of Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) from satellite imagery is essential for the large-scale monitoring of carbon stocks, yet it remains a challenging regression task at global scale.
The paper introduces AmazonSWE, a dataset covering over 19,000 river sections in the Amazon basin for 10 years, combining satellite altimetry and in‑situ gauge data to enable large‑scale spatiotemporal graph imputation. The authors highlight the extreme sparsity of observations—less than 1% of sections per day—and the directed acyclic topology of river networks, which challenge existing imputation methods. They propose a bidirectional selective state‑space model that samples connected subgraphs and uses topology‑aware positional encodings, achieving 18–39% lower RMSE than the current state‑of‑the‑art SWOT‑based approach while providing predictions for all river sections.
arXiv:2607. 11896v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Forecasting particulate matter (PM10) requires both station-scale accuracy and continuous spatial fields, especially during severe dust storms.
The paper introduces AmazonSWE, a dataset covering over 19,000 river sections in the Amazon basin for 10 years (2016‑2026) that integrates satellite altimetry, including SWOT, to enable large‑scale spatiotemporal graph imputation. The dataset is extremely sparse—fewer than 1% of sections are observed daily—and features a directed acyclic river topology that is larger and structurally distinct from existing benchmarks. The authors demonstrate that conventional imputation methods struggle with this topology, scale, and sparsity, and propose a bidirectional selective state‑space model that outperforms prior approaches, reducing RMSE against in‑situ gauges by 18‑39% and providing predictions for every river section. whyItMatters":"AmazonSWE offers a novel, real‑world use case that could improve flood forecasting and water resource management by enabling more accurate and comprehensive water surface elevation estimates across a vast, sparsely monitored river network."

arXiv:2607. 01621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-scale rainfall reconstruction is critical for urban flood modeling, but real rainfall sensing systems observe the field through incompatible spatial supports: gauges measure points, microwave links measure paths, and radar/satellite products measure gridded areas.
This study presents a new mobile‑sensing dataset from Surat, India, capturing PM2.5 concentrations along with meteorological and land‑use variables. The authors model the data as a graph using two node‑definition strategies—uniform segmentation and DBSCAN clustering—and introduce a Spatially Attentive Graph Neural Network (SA‑GNN) that combines cluster‑specific GRUs with a Graph Attention Network to forecast fine‑grained, short‑term PM2.5 levels. SA‑GNN outperforms traditional LSTM, RNN, GRU, and ANN baselines, achieving an R² of 0.95, RMSE of 6.8, and MAE of 4.2 µg/m³ on the dataset.
MEOX is a compact multimodal masked autoencoder designed for Earth Observation that uses a 2.939 million‑parameter encoder and 3.115 million total parameters. It incorporates sensor‑specific adapters, explicit validity signals, and a shared sparse‑expert block to maintain modality‑dependent processing before a learned patch‑wise fusion, followed by fourteen encoder blocks that process a single spatial sequence with four metadata tokens. Pretrained on 1.228 million MMEarth64 samples, MEOX achieves strong performance on GEO‑Bench tasks, surpassing prior CSMoE results, and demonstrates effective sensor‑flexible representation learning with a modest parameter budget.
