  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the restinga/beach area of Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Used Google Maps - Earth and Map Views to locate the restinga area of Copacabana. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the start to end points of the shore within the administrative boundary of Copacabana (spatial extent provided by Google Maps), then halved this distance (1.385 km) to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along the restinga/beach of Copacabana nearest to the midpoint of the line; used the Google Maps – What's Here Tool to find the coordinates (placed point where there is evident vegetation). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the beach within the administrative boundary of Copacabana. Input coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (1660 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: River, stream, road, path).
