Advancing Hourly Gross Primary Productivity Mapping Over East Asia Using LGBM

This study presents a new machine learning (Light Gradient Boosting Machine) approach to generate high-resolution, hourly maps of gross primary productivity (GPP) for East Asia (2020–2021). The paper highlights clear diurnal patterns across different land cover types and latitudes, offering valuable insights for ecosystem monitoring and carbon cycle modeling.

Tool

EarthMap

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).

Tool

GAIA Foundation Model

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.
