  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of "Rio Tumbiri;" assumed this to be synonymous with Igarapé Tumbira, a tributary of Rio Negro in Amazonas, Brazil. Unsure of the precise location of the "temporary" island; instead, georeferenced to the mouth of Igarapé Tumbira. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate the mouth of Igarapé Tumbira. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the mouth of the river, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent of the mouth of the river by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the confluence of Igarapé Tumbira and Rio Negro. Input coordinates, linear extent (5880.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Mouth or headwaters of a river, confluence of waterways, trailhead).
