  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Lagoa de Marapendi in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Used Google Maps - Earth and Map Views to locate Lagoa de Marapendi. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of a grove closest to the geographic midpoint of Lagoa de Marapendi (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the lake. Input coordinate source (locality description), coordinates, datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (5600 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded Area).
