AlphaEarth Foundations embeddings show promise for wildfire mapping

A new research paper evaluates the effectiveness of AlphaEarth Foundations (AEF) geospatial embeddings for wildfire susceptibility mapping. The study, using Victoria, Australia as a case study, found that AEF embeddings can accurately reconstruct commonly used variables for this task. Models trained with these embeddings achieved high accuracy (ROC-AUC > 0.92) and demonstrated strong near-region transferability, outperforming traditional physical-variable models when applied to different regions like Canberra.
