AlphaEarth Foundations fuses petabytes of satellite and other Earth observation data into per-location embeddings; annual embedding layers released as a dataset.

Works as a "virtual satellite" that gives scientists a consistent representation of land and coastal waters for mapping tasks such as deforestation, urban growth and water resources. Satellite Embedding Dataset is available in Earth Engine.
