This paper describes how AI models can be augmented and adapted to interpret landscapes. We present the technical framework of a Sentinel-2 satellite asset interpretation pipeline that combines statistical operations, human judgment, and generative AI models to produce succinct commentaries on industrial mining sites across the planet. To this end we introduce a novel bespoke landscape descriptor, the Urban Dwelling and Mining Index, and discuss how this metric can improve the performance of a multimodal language model in assessing the spatial distribution of mining operations.
