Tackling the worlds toughest challenges with AI & ML applied to satellite & aerial imagery https://t.co/QmbOWgdfAZ






🛰️🌆 Exploring Urban Futures Through Satellite Imagery 🌆🛰️ Thrilled to announce our most recent publication in PFG, "Urban Change Forecasting from Satellite Images." This research delves into an intriguing question and offers a new approach. link.springer.com/article/10.100…






Caleb (@calebrob6) and I are trying something new: we started a blog where we'll share our experiments, paper highlights, and explorations in geospatial machine learning including TorchGeo use-cases. First posts are live at geospatialml.com and you can subscribe on Substack at geospatialml.substack.com


Client bought a lake house in 2019. $485,000 purchase price. "We'll use it every weekend." They used it 11 times in 5 years. Here's what that lake house actually cost: $31,200/year mortgage $14,400/year property taxes and insurance $8,700/year maintenance and repairs $6,200/year utilities $4,100/year HOA Total: $64,600 a year. They could have rented premium lake houses across the country every single summer for $12,000. And kept the additional compounding in their portfolio with far less problems to deal with. They were tired of the headaches. They just listed it. "We thought it would bring the family together." The family came twice. Real estate feels like an asset BUT it can turn into an expensive hobby with a deed.

How do the forests in your home town grow? 🌲 We just released ECHOSAT — the first global tree height map at 10 m resolution tracking forest dynamics from 2018 to 2024. 🔗 arxiv.org/abs/2602.21421 🔗 janpauls.org/projects/echos…



Our geospatial foundation model paper has been accepted to #cvpr2026! "TESSERA: Temporal Embeddings of Surface Spectra for Earth Representation and Analysis" (out of 16000+ submissions, wow). See you in Denver! arxiv.org/abs/2506.20380







Our Queryable Earth demos now include change detection! (+ a several other new and updated features) With change detection, users are able to search a large amount of data for specific changes like new construction and changes to landscapes. Full post: element84.com/machine-learni…
