  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of waterfall Cachoeira Misericórdia, along the Rio Juruena. Referred to Traveling Luck website, "Traveling Luck for Cachoeira da Misericórdia, Brazil," for location information for this waterfall (http://travelingluck.com/South+America/Brazil/Brazil+%28general%29/_3394763_Cachoeira+da+Miseric%C3%B3rdia.html). Using the reference map and Google Maps - Satellite View, located Cachoeira Misericórdia along Rio Juruena, situated on the Amazonas-Mato Grosso border. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the land adjacent to the approximate geographic center of the waterfall. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the waterfall. Input coordinates, linear extent (436.648 m.), and measurement error (.001 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Mouth or headwaters of a river, confluence of waterways, trailhead).
