Room: Seminar Room Ground Floor Accurate and frequently updated global terrestrial carbon stock maps are crucial for understanding climate change dynamics, informing land management practices, and verifying carbon sequestration efforts. Traditional mapping approaches often rely on localized models that struggle with scalability, data heterogeneity, and generalization across diverse ecosystems. In this talk, we introduce the 3DABC foundation model approach for global terrestrial carbon stock mapping. This methodology leverages large-scale, self-supervised learning on diverse remote sensing Earth observation data, including optical, SAR, and LiDAR. We will focus on how the Massively Multimodal Masked Modeling technique is being utilized for this Earth Observation application.
