  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of "Lago da água preta;" instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Água Boa do Univini in Mun. Caracarai, Roraima. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate Rio Água Boa do Univini, a tributary of Rio Branco. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the mouth of Rio Água Boa do Univini (confluence of Rio Água Boa do Univini and Rio Branco) and headwaters of the stream (approximated through the dense forest cover), then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Rio Água Boa do Univini nearest to the midpoint of the line; used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic midpoint of the river, on the adjacent stream (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 the stream. Input coordinates, linear extent (79150.0 m), and measurement error (50 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
