Earth Science Foundation Models: From Perception to Reasoning and Discovery

Large foundation models (FMs) are transforming Earth science by integrating heterogeneous multimodal data, such as multi-platform imagery, gridded reanalysis data, diverse geophysical and geochemical observations, and domain-specific text, to support tasks ranging from basic perception to advanced scientific discovery. This paper provides a unified review of Earth science foundation models (Earth FMs) through two complementary dimensions: depth, which traces the evolution of model capabilities from perception to multimodal reasoning and agentic scientific workflows, and breadth, which summarizes their expanding applications across the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, anthroposphere, and cryosphere, as well as coupled Earth system processes. Using this framework, we review representative multimodal Earth foundation models and compile more than 200 datasets and benchmarks spanning diverse Earth science tasks and modalities. We further discuss key challenges in multimodal data heterogeneity, scientific reliability and continual updating, scalability and sustainability, and the transition from foundation models to agentic and embodied Earth intelligence, and outline future directions toward more integrated, trustworthy, and actionable AI Earth scientists. Overall, this paper offers a structured roadmap for understanding the development of Earth foundation models from both capability depth and application breadth.

ReCrit: Transition-Aware Reinforcement Learning for Scientific Critic Reasoning

Large language models can fail in critic interaction not only by answering incorrectly, but also by abandoning an initially correct scientific solution after user criticism. This is especially risky in scientific reasoning, where user criticism can turn a valid answer into an incorrect one. We frame critic interaction as an inter-turn correctness-transition problem rather than a final-answer accuracy problem, and identify three challenges: transition awareness, decoupling useful correction from harmful sycophancy, and scalable rollout. We propose ReCrit, a transition-aware reinforcement learning framework that decomposes Initial-to-Critic behavior into four quadrants: Correction, Sycophancy, Robustness, and Boundary. ReCrit rewards correction and robustness, penalizes sycophancy, and treats persistent errors as weak boundary signals. To make interaction training practical, ReCrit further uses dynamic asynchronous rollout with tail-adaptive completion to reduce rollout waiting. On three scientific reasoning benchmarks, ChemBench, TRQA, and EarthSE, ReCrit improves average Critic accuracy from 38.15 to 51.49 on Qwen3.5-4B and from 45.40 to 55.59 on Qwen3.5-9B. Ablations show that final-answer rewards provide little interaction-level gain, while transition-aware rewards and quadrant weighting produce more distinguishable training signals and larger net Critic-stage improvement. The code is available at https://github.com/black-yt/ReCrit .

SciEvalKit: An Open-source Evaluation Toolkit for Scientific General Intelligence

We introduce SciEvalKit, a unified benchmarking toolkit designed to evaluate AI models for science across a broad range of scientific disciplines and task capabilities. Unlike general-purpose evaluation platforms, SciEvalKit focuses on the core competencies of scientific intelligence, including Scientific Multimodal Perception, Scientific Multimodal Reasoning, Scientific Multimodal Understanding, Scientific Symbolic Reasoning, Scientific Code Generation, Science Hypothesis Generation and Scientific Knowledge Understanding. It supports six major scientific domains, spanning from physics and chemistry to astronomy and materials science. SciEvalKit builds a foundation of expert-grade scientific benchmarks, curated from real-world, domain-specific datasets, ensuring that tasks reflect authentic scientific challenges. The toolkit features a flexible, extensible evaluation pipeline that enables batch evaluation across models and datasets, supports custom model and dataset integration, and provides transparent, reproducible, and comparable results. By bridging capability-based evaluation and disciplinary diversity, SciEvalKit offers a standardized yet customizable infrastructure to benchmark the next generation of scientific foundation models and intelligent agents. The toolkit is open-sourced and actively maintained to foster community-driven development and progress in AI4Science.
