Satellite Earth observation, while being “digital” from early on, has experienced a boost by digitalisation in recent years, with new trend s of cloud processing, data cube infrastructure, computer vision, machine learning, at unprecedented speeds. This Special Issue on “Digital | Earth | Observation” is dedicated to the fruitful interplay between the Digital Earth concept and Earth observation, embedded in the great technological trends in this field, and demonstrates how this potential can be used in various application contexts.
