Earth Map is an innovative, free and open-source tool developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in the framework of the FAO - Google partnership. It was created to support countries, research institutes, farmers and members of the general public with internet access to monitor their land in an easy, integrated and multi-temporal manner. It allows everyone to visualize, process and analyze satellite imagery and global datasets on climate, vegetation, fires, biodiversity, geo-social and other topics. Users need no prior knowledge of remote sensing or Geographical Information Systems (GIS).

Continuous and reliable Earth observation is critical for real-world systems like hurricane forecasting and wildfire detection. GAIA demonstrates promising capabilities, both in filling large gaps in satellite records and converting satellite imagery into precipitation estimates. GAIA represents a new class of geospatial AI models with the potential to create significant impact across sectors—from more accurate weather forecasting to applications in insurance, power utilities, aviation, and agriculture.
