Geo Intelligence is an independent information hub for Earth scientists and AI practitioners, exploring how artificial intelligence helps us understand, observe and predict our planet.

Translation policy

Titles appear in their original form when their language matches the selected version. Otherwise, the translated title is marked “Machine translation”, with the original displayed directly below. The same rule applies in both directions. Source links, journal names and publication dates are preserved.

An “AI summary” is a brief synthesis of the source, not the authors’ abstract or a full translation. Translations aim to preserve the original meaning. Consult the source for terminology, methods and the scope of research findings.

The initial collection was manually selected and its sources checked. Newly collected records are published after editorial review. Where a translation is unavailable, the original title is shown and labelled. Dates refer to online journal publication or the institution’s release.
