  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the geographic midpoint of Rio Javari (synonymous with Rio Yavari) between the Peruvian city of Emilia and the Brazilian village of Paumari. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Rio Javari which runs along the Brazilian-Peruvian border. Referred to Selva Aventura website for location information for Paumari (http://www.selvaventura.org/#!canopy-paumari-en/c1950). According to the site, the Paumari community is located in the hilly area adjacent to the Palmari Nature Reserve. Using the reference material and Google Maps - Terrain and Satellite View, located the approximate location of the geographic center of the shoreline of Paumari village. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line beginning at geographic center of the shoreline of Paumari (Brazil) to the approximate geographic center of the shoreline of the city of Emilia (Peru), then halved this distance to approximate the location of the midpoint between the cities along Rio Javari. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the midpoint along the river. Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the segment, 7002.92 m.), and measurement error (.01 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius. Site is located in Loreto Region, Peru.
