Evaluating AlphaEarth and TESSERA Geospatial Embeddings for Machine Learning-Based Burned Area Mapping in Portugal

This study evaluates AlphaEarth and TESSERA geospatial embeddings for burned area mapping in Portugal, finding that while TESSERA outperforms AlphaEarth and offers a scalable alternative by avoiding event-specific image differencing, a traditional Sentinel-2 spectral baseline remains the most accurate approach when suitable imagery and fire dates are available.
