• Georeferencing Method

  BioGeomancer, Guide to Best Practices for Georefer. Referenced Wikimapia.org (http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=-15.417215&lon=-55.810032&z=16&m=b&show=/14017912/pt/Acampamento-Buriti&search=cuiaba, accessed: 3/27/2015) and the google georeferenced images to locate the campus of Colégio Buriti in Buriti, Chapada dos Guimarães. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the campus of Colégio Buriti, taking into account the added uncertainty of the word "vicinity" in the locality description. Used the referenced materials and Google Maps - Earth View to locate the campus of the Colégio. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the campus (using visual evidence to determine). Because of the difficulty in deciding the appropriate nearest named place to the airstrip, 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 campus (512.53 m), then doubled this distance (200% of the linear extent of the campus, since using 2 km would overinflate the uncertainty radius). Input coordinates, linear extent (1025.06 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Biogeomancer Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing, Near a Feature).
