  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to Wikimapia.org for locality information for Pico da Caledônea (http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=-22.353330&lon=-42.587128&z=14&m=b&show=/30078125/pt/Cume-principal-do-Pico-da-Caledônia-(2257-m)&search=-22.354290%2C%20-42.585027, 7/9/2015). Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Pico da Caledônea in Nova Friburgo, Rio Janeiro, Brazil. Used the reference material and Google Maps – Earth and Terrain Views (in addition to the geo-tagged photographs as clues) to locate Pico da Caledônea (-22.354366, -42.585121). Approximated the spatial boundaries of Pico da Caledônea (full mountain) using wikimapia.org and visual evidence (Google Maps – Terrain View); used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to measure from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the Caledônea mountain (known as Maciço do Caledônia). Input: coordinates (-22.354366, -42.585121), coordinate precision (0.00001), datum (WGS84), linear extent (2770 m), measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).
