Rapid technological progress is reflected in<br>an expanding global ecosystem of multi-scale observations, spanning ground-based<br>instruments, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), airborne campaigns, and satellite<br>constellations.<br>However, the exponential growth in the volume, velocity, and variety of geospatial big data<br>presents fundamental computational bottlenecks. Transforming these raw observations into<br>reliable, actionable information requires next-generation algorithms, including machine<br>learning (ML) and computer vision architectures. Furthermore, developing and<br>benchmarking these models relies heavily on the availability of high-quality, openly<br>accessible reference datasets. Finally, executing these workflows at scale demands efficient,<br>interoperable, and reproducible tools built on open-source software, cloud computing<br>environments, and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructures.<br>This session invites contributions addressing the modern geocomputational challenges of<br>visualizing, processing, and analyzing big remote sensing data.
