The Copernicus programme of the European Union with its fleet of Sentinel satellites operated by the European Space Agency are effectively making Earth Observation (EO) entering the big data era. Consequently, most application projects at continental or global scale cannot be addressed with conventional techniques.

Existing approaches such as those based on the processing of massive archives of Landsat data are reviewed and the concept of the Joint Research Centre Earth Observation Data and Processing platform is briefly presented.
