Now We Know? A Systematic Comparison of TerraMind and THOR

Frederick Schindlegger, Kenzo Bounegta, Eva Gmelich Meijling +5

Benchmarks for Geospatial Foundation Models (GFMs) increasingly rank models by aggregate score, but such rankings obscure why models differ: how much of the gap is architecture, ho…

How to Embed Matters: Evaluation of EO Embedding Design Choices

Luis Gilch, Isabelle Wittmann, Maximilian Nitsche +3

Earth observation (EO) missions produce petabytes of multispectral imagery, increasingly analyzed using large Geospatial Foundation Models (GeoFMs). Alongside end-to-end adaptation…

Spectral Gaps and Spatial Priors: Studying Hyperspectral Downstream Adaptation Using TerraMind

Julia Anna Leonardi, Johannes Jakubik, Paolo Fraccaro +1

Geospatial Foundation Models (GFMs) typically lack native support for Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) due to the complexity and sheer size of high-dimensional spectral data. This study…

Partial recovery of meter-scale surface weather

Jonathan Giezendanner, Qidong Yang, Eric Schmitt +9

Near-surface weather varies over tens to hundreds of meters, yet remains unresolved in analyses and forecasts. We test whether this variation can be inferred without resolving atmo…
