Monitoring herbaceous biomass and restoration of semi-natural grasslands using machine learning on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery

This study explores the use of freely available Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data combined with machine learning for monitoring the restoration of semi-natural alvar grasslands in Estonia. Alvar grasslands present a challenging case due to their high spatial heterogeneity and patchy vegetation structure. Particular attention is given to how field and satellite data are linked, comparing point-based sampling with a 3 × 3 kernel mean approach. This provides practical insight into how methodological choices influence model performance. The results highlight the importance of optical data and demonstrate a simple, transferable approach for large-scale monitoring of semi-natural grassland restoration.

From Surface Drying to Hydrological Response: An Integrated Diagnosis of Flash Droughts across Europe

Flash droughts can intensify within weeks, yet their transition from surface drying to broader hydrological response remains poorly understood at the continental scale. This study addresses that gap through an integrated Europe-wide framework that combines ASCAT, ERA5-Land, and GloFAS to track rapid soil-moisture depletion and evaluate its propagation across hydroclimatic systems. By linking observation-based flash drought onset with process-oriented hydrological interpretation, the work provides a stronger basis for drought monitoring, early warning, and climate-risk preparedness across Europe.

Biomazon: A Multimodal Benchmark for Full Vertical Structure and Biomass Modeling in the Amazon Basin

This talk presents Biomazon, an open multimodal benchmark dataset for predicting forest vertical structure and biomass in the Amazon Basin from multi-sensor Earth Observation data. The dataset and protocols will be publicly released, supporting reproducible comparison of methods for full GEDI relative height profile and AGBD prediction. The talk is relevant to researchers and practitioners working on forest monitoring pipelines, foundation model evaluation, and carbon-relevant mapping. We will show controlled comparisons between raw sensor inputs (Sentinel-1/2, ALOS-2 PALSAR-2) and AlphaEarth embeddings under identical training conditions, providing evidence on how learned representations help. We will further contextualize Biomazon baseline performance through regionally aligned comparisons with existing gridded products, including GEDI L4D, Wagner et al., Lang et al., Potapov et al., Tolan et al., and ESA CCI AGBD. Finally, we will discuss why treating vertical structure as a structured prediction target, rather than a scalar canopy height proxy, matters for biomass estimation and carbon accounting at scale. All data, code, and evaluation protocols are designed to be open and reusable.

From Sentinel-2 STAC to DGGS Native Data Cubes with DGGS.jl

Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS) tessellate the earth’s surface into zones of equal area and very similar shape, minimizing spatial distortions in geospatial data processing. DGGS are not only used for geocoding but also offer a highly efficient data structure by eliminating tile overlap compared to traditional grids like UTM used in Sentinel-2 products. In addition, many real-world applications, such as visualization or convolutions, require efficient handling of higher-order neighbor queries based on spatial distances, motivating a multidimensional DGGS coordinate system. This leads into DGGS native data cubes, in which the data is stored in such a DGGS grid to improve the performance on such operations. In response to these challenges, we introduce DGGS.jl (https://danlooo.github.io/DGGS.jl), a Julia package specifically developed to create and utilize DGGS native data cubes optimized for indirect neighbor queries. Our package employs the DGGRID Q2DI index to store data on a grid based on the Icosahedral Snyder Equal Area projection, enabling compact and efficient data cube arrays. We have implemented methods to seamlessly convert raster data between geographic and Q2DI coordinates, access neighbor disks around a given cell, and visualize these data on a global scale. In addition, we developed an XYZ tile server, allowing us to view DGGS native data cubes in QGIS and in the browser. Finally, we used DGGS.jl to create such a data cube of Europe from quarterly cloudless Sentinel-2 mosaics of the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem.

Mapping Global Forest Litterfall Dynamics at 500-m Resolution via GeoAI: Implications for Forest Ecosystem Functioning and Soil Respiration

This 20-minute oral presentation is based on our recent publication in Remote Sensing of Environment (2026). The talk will comprehensively introduce a novel GeoAI-driven framework for mapping global forest litterfall and exploring its biogeochemical coupling with soil respiration. The presentation will be structured as follows: 1. Introduction & Background (approx. 4 mins) The critical role of forest litterfall in the global carbon cycle and pedosphere carbon flux; Current limitations in Earth Observation (EO) and scaling issues in traditional meteorological proxies. 2. Data Synthesis & GeoAI Methodology (approx. 6 mins) Data Foundation: Synthesizing an unprecedented dataset of 14,912 in-situ observations across 843 sites globally; Machine Learning Integration: Detailing the framework used to fuse multi-source remote sensing data to overcome uncertainty; Generating the 500-m spatial resolution global forest litterfall product. 3. Key Findings & Biogeochemical Mechanisms (approx. 5 mins) Integrating the high-resolution EO derivatives into the Olson legacy model to quantify litterfall's impact on soil respiration (RS); Uncovering the spatial heterogeneity: Discussing the asymmetric microbial responses between tropical forests (high turnover rates) and temperate/boreal regions (biogeochemical inertia). 4. Implications & Conclusion (approx. 5 mins) How this 500-m global product provides scalable data infrastructure for next-generation Earth System Models (ESMs); Implications for biodiversity conservation and global forest carbon management; Q&A session. We believe this comprehensive GeoAI pipeline perfectly aligns with the “Forest and biodiversity” track and will provide valuable methodological insights for the Open Earth Monitor community.

Democratizing Field Boundary Delineation in the Global South with AI.

We piloted the project in South America and used the lessons learnt to apply it in Africa. While the scientific approach was similar, the methodology of application from data collection to use case development differed between South America and Africa. We will provide a guide on stakeholder collaboration and coordination and use case development based on lessons learnt in Africa.

During the 45-minute hands-on session, participants will: (1) load and explore Sentinel-2 imagery and other geospatial datasets from static files on cloud storage, with zero server configuration; (2) run in-browser spatial analytics using SQL; (3) collaboratively annotate areas of interest on a shared map; and (4) submit a region to an AI model for automated semantic segmentation and visualise the results as a map layer. Participants are invited to write to hi@h4ck1ng.science with proposals on which data would they like to work with.

TESSERA: A Foundation Model for Label-Efficient and Multi-Modal Earth Observation at Scale

In this keynote, we will dive deeper into the practical implications of the TESSERA foundation model for the Earth Observation and GeoAI communities. Beyond the architectural innovations presented at CVPR 2026, this session will focus on three key pillars: 1. Breaking the "Label Bottleneck": We will discuss how TESSERA’s self-supervised temporal embeddings allow researchers and organizations to build high-performing monitoring tools with 10x to 100x less labeled data than traditional supervised methods. 2. A New Paradigm for Multi-Modal Integration: We will showcase how TESSERA natively fuses Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 optical data at the pixel level, providing a robust solution for regions with persistent cloud cover. 3. Commitment to Open & Distributed Science: In line with the Open-Earth-Monitor mission, we will outline our roadmap for releasing next-gen pre-trained weights and the global embedding dataset (2017–2025).
