  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Assumed that "above" refers to upstream, in accordance with BioGeomancer "Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing" (2006). Georeferenced to 30 km upstream from the mouth of Rio Coti (confluence of Rio Curuquetê and Rio Coti), along Rio Curuquetê, in Mun. Lábrea, Amazonas. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the confluence of Rio Curuquetê and Rio Coti. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 30 km (30.0012 km) upstream along Rio Curuquetê, toward the source of the river. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the offset, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Distance Measurement Tool again to find the linear extent of the starting location, the confluence of Rio Curuquetê and Rio Coti, by measuring from the starting location to the farthest extent of the confluence of the rivers. Input coordinates, linear extent (0.143971 km), measurement error (.0005 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
