  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Negro between the islands of Ilha Uabetuba and Ilha da Silva in Amazonas, Brazil. Used the Google Maps - Earth View to locate Ilha Uabetuba and Ilha da Silva in Rio Negro. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate geographic centers of both islands then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Rio Negro nearest to the midpoint of this line; used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate midpoint of Rio Negro between the islands, on the adjacent southern shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of this segment of river. Input coordinates, linear extent (18390.0 m), and measurement error (25 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
