The paper introduces a workflow that ranks competing geological interpretations by converting them into spatial priors and assessing their consistency with hydraulic‑head observations. Using a text‑to‑image model to generate 1600 geologic images per interpretation, a variational autoencoder encodes them, and a supervised inverse network maps head data into this latent space, producing log‑conductivity fields for flow simulation. The method is validated on a synthetic Johansen Formation benchmark and applied to two conceptual models of the Culebra Dolomite, yielding compatibility scores that align with independent evidence.

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.
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. 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.
