Abstract

Understanding the distribution of Land Surface Temperature (LST) in Agartala city and Vegetation Cover (NDVI) and its spatial variation will be helpful to depict its dynamics and mechanism for finding out solutions. For the present study Landsat imageries of different time period (2000, 2010 and 2016 of February) were obtained from USGS. The imageries were processed to prepare valuable maps in GIS environment.
