High-resolution, non-destructive imaging techniques—including 3D micro-CT, micro-XRF core scanning, hyperspectral imagery, and multi-sensor optical logging—have revolutionized paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental research across sedimentary, speleothem, ice core, tree-ring, and biological archives. However, community-wide data synthesis remains hindered by non-standardized calibration protocols, disparate operating procedures, and unaligned data formats.

Organized in conjunction with the PAGES PaleoIMAGING Working Group, this session brings together empirical researchers, laboratory specialists, and data managers to showcase innovative scientific applications, proxy reconstructions, and community-wide harmonization.

We invite contributions covering:
1. Applied paleo-environmental, paleoclimate, and sedimentological studies using high-resolution core imaging modalities.
2. Novel imaging applications, sensor developments, and analytical processing methods.
3. Interlaboratory comparisons, standard reference materials, and physical calibration protocols.
4. Best practices, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and image processing/segmentation pipelines.
5. Open-access repositories, standardised data formats, and multi-modal dataset integration.
