Georeferencing Method
BioGeomancer, Guide to Best Practices for Georefer. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the mouth of Rio Paru in Mun. Almeirim, Pará, taking into account the added uncertainty of the word "near" in the locality description. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate Rio Paru, a tributary of Rio Amazonas. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the mouth of the river, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Because of the difficulty in deciding the appropriate nearest named place to the mouth of the river, georeferenced according to method described in the Biogeomancer Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing, Near a Feature. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the confluence of Rio Paru and Rio Amazonas (2150.0 m), then doubled this distance (200% of the linear extent of the river mouth). Input coordinates, linear extent (4300.0 m), and measurement error (2.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Biogeomancer Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing, Near a Feature).
