about this map
This map of the historic Chevron Refinery in Richmond, CA is created from FLIR thermal imagery collected from an aircraft. Using a thermal camera allows collections at night as well as through fog and haze. Ensuring there are no leaks, changes in terrain, or physical damages to oil refineries is especially critical to seismically active areas like Northern California.
The thermal imagery for this map was collected with a FLIR Star SAFIRE 380-HDc.
