GeoNDC: A Queryable Neural Data Cube for Planetary-Scale Earth Observation
Satellite Earth observation has accumulated massive spatiotemporal archives essential for monitoring environmental change, yet these remain organized as discrete raster files, making them costly to store, transmit, and query. We present GeoNDC, a queryable neural data cube that encodes planetary-scale Earth observation data as a continuous spatiotemporal implicit neural field, enabling on-demand queries and continuous-time reconstruction without full decompression. Experiments on a 20-year global MODIS MCD43A4 reflectance record ($8016 \times 4008$ pixels, 7 bands, 915 temporal frames) show that the learned representation supports direct spatiotemporal queries on consumer hardware. On Sentinel-2 imagery (10 m), continuous temporal parameterization recovers cloud-free dynamics with high fidelity ($R^2 > 0.85$) under simulated 2-km cloud occlusion. On HiGLASS biophysical products (LAI and FPAR), GeoNDC attains near-perfect accuracy ($R^2 > 0.98$). The representation compresses the 20-year MODIS archive to 0.44\,GB -- approximately 95:1 relative to an optimized Int16 baseline -- with high spectral fidelity (mean $R^2 > 0.98$, mean RMSE $= 0.021$). These results suggest GeoNDC offers a unified AI-native representation for planetary-scale Earth observation, complementing raw archives with a compact, analysis-ready data layer integrating query, reconstruction, and compression in a single framework.
