GEO-Bench: Toward Foundation Models for Earth Monitoring
Open accessAbstract
Recent progress in self-supervision has shown that pre-training large neural networks on vast amounts of unsupervised data can lead to substantial increases in generalization to downstream tasks. Such models, recently coined foundation models, have been transformational to the field of natural language processing. Variants have also been proposed for image data, but their applicability to remote sensing tasks is limited. To stimulate the development of foundation models for Earth monitoring, we propose a benchmark comprised of six classification and six segmentation tasks, which were carefully curated and adapted to be both relevant to the field and well-suited for model evaluation. We accompany this benchmark with a robust methodology for evaluating models and reporting aggregated results to enable a reliable assessment of progress. Finally, we report results for 20 baselines to gain information about the performance of existing models. We believe that this benchmark will be a driver of progress across a variety of Earth monitoring tasks.

The GEO-Bench evaluation protocol begins with hyperparameter tuning (ten trials per dataset), then uses the best hyperparameters for repeated experiments (N=10) with different random seeds.
“This protocol begins with hyperparameter tuning, where each model is allowed a fixed number of trials (ten in our study) on each dataset. The best hyperparameters identified on the validation set for each task are then used to conduct repeated experiments (N = 10) with different random seeds.”
From Prithvi-EO-2.0: A Versatile Multitemporal Foundation Model for Earth Observation Applications (2026) · cites this paper as [10]
Section 6.1 (Protocol; page unavailable) says the authors selected hyperparameters using validation performance over 16 trials, then repeated training with 10 seeds. Section 4 recommends a maximum of 16 tuning trials per task. The sequence and seed count are supported, but the attributed ten-trial tuning count is not. (LLM, conf=0.90)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredGEO-Bench is a widely used and rigorous benchmark framework available for EO foundation models.
“For the benchmarking evaluation, we selected GEO-Bench [10], a widely used and rigorous benchmark framework available for EO foundation models.”

Sections 3 and 4.1 describe GEO-Bench as a benchmark for evaluating Earth-monitoring foundation models, with diverse tasks and procedures for reporting reliable confidence intervals. These support its availability and methodological rigor, but the paper does not establish that GEO-Bench is widely used. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThrough benchmarking with GEO-Bench, Prithvi-EO-2.0 outperforms the previous Prithvi-EO model by 8% across a range of tasks.
“Through extensive benchmarking with GEO-Bench, the model outperforms the previous PrithviEO model by 8% across a range of tasks.”

Section 3 identifies GEO-Bench as a benchmark with six classification and six segmentation tasks, supporting its use as a benchmark across tasks. The experiments passage (Section 6.2.2; page unavailable) discusses other model baselines, but our copy does not report a Prithvi-EO-2.0 versus Prithvi-EO comparison or an 8% improvement; searches for those models and the figure found none. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredGEO-Bench offers a carefully curated collection of six classification and six semantic segmentation datasets, encompassing a range of spatial resolutions and domains.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
