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. 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:2607. 12177v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The analysis of satellite and aerial imagery has entered a new era with the advent of foundation models.
arXiv:2604. 12306v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Climate decision-making in the GCC states increasingly demands systems that can translate heterogeneous scientific and policy evidence into actionable guidance, yet general-purpose large language models (LLMs) remain weak both in region-specific climate knowledge and grounded interaction with geospatial and forecasting tools.
arXiv:2606. 15077v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present an LLM-driven framework for retrieving remote sensing data from cloud-based geospatial catalogues using natural language queries.
arXiv:2608. 10494v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Earth observation (EO) agents construct scientifically valid tool workflows and ground their conclusions in current geospatial evidence.
arXiv:2607. 13558v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Urban region profiling constitutes a core problem in urban computing, supporting applications such as population estimation, economic assessment, and environmental monitoring.
arXiv:2603. 16307v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Remote sensing underpins crucial applications such as disaster relief and ecological field surveys, where systems must understand complex scenes and constraints and make reliable decisions.
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. 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.
Geographic Information System (GIS) professionals rely on multi-step spatial analysis workflows to support decision-making in urban planning, disaster response, and environmental monitoring. The process is tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone.
arXiv:2607. 24772v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Geoscience research requires complex analysis and domain expertise, with remote sensing (RS) observations as a key foundation.
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.
