This study introduces a new foundation model based on the Prithvi-EO Vision Transformer, pre-trained on Sentinel-3 ocean color data, to enhance marine Earth observation. By fine-tuning on chlorophyll and primary production tasks, the model outperforms traditional baselines, showing that self-trained AI can extract detailed spatial patterns from limited labeled data and improve monitoring of ocean ecosystems and climate processes.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform how water is managed. Yet, these emerging opportunities raise critical considerations around issues such as data governance, energy use, and the environmental footprint of digital infrastructure. To explore these challenges and opportunities, IWRA is launching a new webinar series: "The Promises and Challenges of AI, Data Centres & Freshwater Futures". Bringing together experts from around the world, the series examines the intersection of emerging technologies and water sustainability.
