A Sentinel-3 Foundation Model for Ocean Colour
Dawson et al. · 2025-09-25
What it covers
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.

A Case Study Of An Extreme Flooding Episode In Charikar, Eastern Afghanistan
Severe flash floods in Charikar, Afghanistan, on August 26, 2020, were driven by extreme atmospheric instability, deep low-level convergence, and local topography, with climate change intensifying frontal activity and baroclinicity in the region.

A Deep-Learning Based Parameter Inversion Framework for Large-Scale Groundwater Models
A machine learning framework was developed to efficiently parametrize large-scale hydrogeologic models by learning the relationship between water table depth and hydraulic conductivity from a small number of simulations, enabling realistic predictions with significantly reduced computational cost.
