Clark Center for Geospatial Analytics

Introducing the School of Climate, Environment, and Society at Clark University. 🌎 In a vital effort to address our planet’s most profound and urgent challenges through a distinctive lens, Clark University has established the School of Climate, Environment, and Society, to open in Fall 2025. The new school elevates Clark’s historic academic strengths and leading-edge research to embolden an urgently needed response to climate change and related ecological and social crises with an emphasis on human-centered solutions. It will be led by Lou Leonard, JD, the newly appointed D.J.A. Spencer Dean. Learn more and explore new undergraduate and graduate degree programs ➡️ clarku.edu/ces

Determined to advance the use of #generativeAI for #geospatial, we partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to launch a Challenge that awards $1 million in AWS credits for novel, collaborative projects that fuse those technologies. The response was immense, with 55 teams of 206 geospatial scholars, practitioners, and entrepreneurs submitting imaginative proposals for using generative AI and geospatial to solve real-world problems. Today we are proud to announce twelve amazing awardees.

Excited to announce the release of Prithvi Geospatial Model V2 for Earth Observation! Version 2.0 builds on community feedback to make significant improvements for diverse applications. The new model is trained on NASA's Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) global dataset (2015–2024), utilizing an updated sampling strategy that incorporates diverse land uses and ecosystems worldwide. It also uses sequences of four timestamps (1–6 months apart) to better capture temporal dynamics. We have benchmarked it on the GEO-Bench evaluation framework using 12 different applications. A huge shoutout to the entire team: #IBM #NASAIMPACT #JullichSuper Computing. Special thanks to our science collaborators at #ClarkUniversity, #OregonState, #NASA/MSFC, #ASU and #BostonUniversity for their invaluable contributions!
