What is the primary purpose of the geospatial foundation model unveiled by IBM and NASA?

IBM in collaboration with NASA unveiled a new geospatial foundation model designed to convert satellite data into high-resolution maps of floods, fires, and other landscape changes to reveal the planet’s past and hint at its future. This geospatial offering is expected to be available for preview in the second half of this year. Potential applications of this platform would include helping estimate climate-related risks to crops, buildings, and other infrastructure, valuing and monitoring forests for carbon-offset programmes, and developing predictive models to help enterprises create strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
