arXiv:2608. 12422v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Two free satellite signals carry real information about glacial-lake outburst risk in the Nepal Himalaya: radar interferometry sees a moraine dam slowly sagging, and satellite weather marks the weeks when a primed lake is under stress.

arXiv:2608. 09325v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Newly triggered landslides rarely carry immediate annotations, so cross-domain transferability determines the value of landslide mapping for emergency response and regional risk assessment.

Newly triggered landslides rarely carry immediate annotations, so cross-domain transferability determines the value of landslide mapping for emergency response and regional risk assessment. Vision foundation models have strengthened representational transfer, yet on unseen regions, events, and data sources they still generate high-confidence false alarms.
arXiv:2606. 07780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Floods are among the most destructive natural hazards, and their increasing frequency under climate change makes satellite-based inundation mapping essential for disaster response.

arXiv:2608. 12663v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wildfire susceptibility mapping typically relies on physical variables assembled from multiple remote-sensing, climate, and geospatial products.

Accurate vegetation-community classification is essential for ecological monitoring, habitat assessment, and evidence-based environmental management in heterogeneous landscapes. Existing studies often rely on standalone tree ensembles or generic neural networks, although fine-grained ecological classes frequently exhibit overlapping spectral, topographic, and structural characteristics.
