Bibliography about remote sensing

[Frank Einstein]

Greetings everybody.

I have been tasked with doing an small (12 pages) study about measuring the thermal signatureof a city and the surrounding landscape with a satellite.
I'm afraid I haven't touched the subject very deeply, and I would thank anybody who would point me to some books which cover the subject.

Thank you very much.

One resource that looks pretty good is the USGS web page with links to IR satellite imaging projects:

https://eros.usgs.gov/satellite-imagery

You may be able to use that as a stepping-off point for finding more information. Also, a Google Images search on thermal satellite images gives some pretty neat examples of what is being done...
