Beyond tree cover: mapping the world’s forest types

Google DeepMind · Google DeepMind Blog · Oct 22, 2026 · Product Launches

Google DeepMind mapped every 10-meter patch of Earth's land into distinct forest types globally.

Google DeepMind produced a global forest-type map at 10-meter resolution, categorizing land cover at unprecedented granularity. This demonstrates large-scale applied AI for environmental monitoring and climate science. While technically impressive, it is a domain-specific application rather than a core AI industry shift.
