Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Unable to find the precise location of "área de desmatamento" because the locality is vague. Instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Município Tucuruí rather than the city of Tucuruí, since "área de desmatamento" (area of deforestation) implies a rural area rather than developed. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate Município Tucuruí in Pará, Brazil. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the município. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the município. Input coordinates, linear extent (43070.0 m), and measurement error (2.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).)
Coordinate Uncertainty(m): 43074.1
