Cryo-Bench is a benchmark dataset designed for evaluating **Geo-Foundation Models (GFMs)** on cryosphere applications. It contains curated multispectral satellite image chips, corresponding segmentation labels, and standardized train/validation/test splits. The benchmark covers multiple cryosphere tasks including:

  • Debris-covered glacier mapping
  • Glacial lake segmentation
  • Sea ice classification
  • Calving front detection
Cryo-Bench enables consistent comparison of foundation models, CNNs, and Vision Transformer architectures for cryosphere-related Earth observation applications.
