  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to an offset of 3.5 km "above" (determined to be upstream) the mouth of Rio Santiago, a tributary of Rio Amazonas in Bagua Province, Amazonas, Peru. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate the mouth of Rio Santiago (confluence of Rio Santiago and Rio Amazonas). Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the mouth of Rio Santiago (-4.4356939, -77.640228). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure approximately 3.5 km (3.5 km) above (upstream from) the mouth of the river, measuring along the river. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the offset, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent of the starting location (mouth of Rio Santiago) by measuring from the starting coordinates to the farthest extent of the confluence of rivers (978.94 m). Input coordinate source (locality description), coordinates, datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (0.97894 km), distance precision (1 km), and measurement error (0.01 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset along a path). Added 0.5 km to the uncertainty radius (1491.0 m) to account for the added uncertainty of the offset distance provided in a range format.
