We introduce Chronosphere, a spatio-temporal neural field that learns representations of climate. A central challenge in geographic representation learning is modeling environmental processes whose spatial and temporal complexity varies widely. Yet existing location encoders typically fix a single level of detail everywhere. Global bases such as spherical harmonics spread capacity uniformly across space and time. Localized bases resolve only predefined regions. Learned tessellations adapt, but are inefficient at representing higher frequencies. Chronosphere unifies these approaches, pairing an adaptive tessellation of learnable sites on the spacetime torus $S^2\times S^1$ with a shared bank of local basis functions. Both where capacity is placed and how much detail each region carries adapt to the data, across space and time. Trained to reconstruct climatology, Chronosphere matches or leads state-of-the-art location encoders across spatial and temporal tasks, with the largest gains under spatial and temporal transfer.
