  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of the area of Catú in the city of Belém (was only able to locate "Passagem Catú" on Bing Maps, which is not definitively Catú). Georeferenced to 6 km NE of the approximate geographic center of the campus of Embrapa Amazônia Oriental (once known as Instituto Agronomico do Norte), in accordance with other locality descriptions that describe the area of Catú as situated in that location. Referred to Embrapa website for general information and location of Embrapa (http://www.cpatu.embrapa.br/a-unidade/estrutura-funcional/laboratorios/botanica/). Used the reference material and Google Maps - Satellite View to locate the grounds of Embrapa. Used the Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the geographic center of the grounds of Embrapa. According to the Embrapa website, the Embrapa campus extends into Ananindeua, Pará. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent east of the forested area of Ananindeua; used this distance as the approximated linear extent of Embrapa. To find the 6 km northeast offset coordinates, input coordinates, linear extent (11078.2 m), measurement error (.1 m), offset direction (NE), offset distance (6000 m), and distance precision (100 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the offset coordinates and the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
