  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of "Igarapé Paparú," assumed it to be Igarapé Pau Baru. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Igarapé Pau Baru within the foothills of Serra de Tepequém in Mun. Amajari, Roraima. Used Google Maps - Earth and Terrain View to locate Igarapé Pau Baru within the foothill region of the mountain (determined using the Terrain View). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the start and end of the segment of Igarapé Pau Baru within the foothill region then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along the stream nearest to the midpoint of the line; used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). 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 stream within the foothill region. Input coordinates, linear extent (4580.0 m), and measurement error (50 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
