MineTRACE is a web-based system that provides evidence‑grounded exploration for eight minerals (Cu, Au, Ni, W, Sn, Co, Ta, Mn). It allows users to view prospectivity maps, query specific locations or regions, inspect supporting evidence, and interact via natural language. The system uses a transparent expert tree that integrates heterogeneous geochemical, geophysical, and geological data to produce interpretable prospectivity scores, achieving spatial AUC values up to 0.917.
arXiv:2605. 03383v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Geological interpretation infers subsurface properties and structures from indirect geophysical observations.
arXiv:2608. 09276v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Planetary geology relies on historical, interpretive reasoning to reconstruct past events from diverse observations.
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. 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. 02387v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: NASA and its data centers hold thousands of geoscience datasets and tools like Worldview, Giovanni, the Science Discovery Engine, and Harmony.
arXiv:2607. 24984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, the number of events in earthquake catalogs has significantly increased due to the utilization of more effective deep learning based detectors and phase pickers but answering open ended questions such as what characterizes this sequence?
Nomad is an autonomous system designed to explore and discover insights within large data corpora. It builds an explicit Exploration Map to systematically traverse a domain, generating and testing hypotheses with an explorer agent that leverages document, web, and database searches. After verification, it produces cited reports and meta-reports, and its evaluation framework assesses trustworthiness, quality, and diversity, showing superior performance over baselines on UN, WHO, and arXiv datasets.
arXiv:2506.16633v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal reasoning is a process of understanding, integrating and inferring information across different data modalities. It has recently a...
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: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.
Scientific knowledge graphs organize entities and relations extracted from scientific literature, but they remain inherently incomplete. Missing typed links in such graphs can therefore represent plau...
arXiv:2608. 03292v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long Document Visual Question Answering (LongDocVQA) requires Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to locate, integrate, and reason over heterogeneous document elements distributed across multiple pages.
