  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Because no more specific locality information provided, georeferenced to the approximate geographic midpoint of Rio São Manuel within Pará, Brazil. Used Google Maps - Earth View to find Rio São Manuel, a tributary of Rio Tapajós, which runs along the Pará-Mato Grosso border. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate geographic center of the mouth of the river (confluence of Rio São Manuel and Rio Tapajós) and the end of Rio São Manuel within the state of Pará, then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along the shore of Rio São Manuel closest to the midpoint of the line; used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates. 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 (147260.0 m), and measurement error (2.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
