A Sample of Environmental Applications of Aerial Infrared Thermography

 

 

These high resolution thermal images show various size seeps into receiving bodies such as creeks or small streams, the impact of cooling tower discharge in another location, and the thermal signature of an effluent treatment pond.  They were done from various altitudes.  Even small seeps are quite distinguishable.

Very small seep into creek next to manhole.  The manhole just is just above the arrowhead.


On a golf course, a small creek or a mild seep entering another small creek.

 

A moderate seep seen from the higher of two altitudes.

A small seep next to a highway. 

 

A seep next to a petroleum refinery.  IR can also be used to check tank integrity and level. 

 

The imagery of the discharge has many applications, including selection of spot monitoring locations.
