Introduction to Environmental Remote Sensing / E. C. Barrett and L. F. Curtis.

• PART ONE. REMOTE SENSING PRINCIPLES -- 1 Monitoring the environment -- 2 Physical bases of remote sensing -- 3 Radiation characteristics of natural phenomena -- 4 Sensors for environmental monitoring -- 5 Sensor platforms, sensor packages and satellite data distribution -- 6 Calibration, evaluation and validation in remote sensing -- 7 Remote sensing data interchangeability, preprocessing and processing -- 8 Analysis and interpretation of aerial photography -- 9 Digital data handling -- PART TWO. REMOTE SENSING APPLICATIONS -- 10 Weather analysis and forecasting -- 11 Global climatology -- 12 Water in the environment -- 13 Soils and landforms -- 14 Rocks and mineral resources -- 15 Ecology, conservation and resource management -- 16 Land use and crop production -- 17 The built environment -- 18 Hazards and disasters -- 19 Problems and prospects. 

• Taking a detailed, non-mathematical approach to the principles on which remote sensing is based, this book progresses from the physical principles to the application of remote sensing.
