  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of Cachoeira Diamantinho in the locality description; instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Curuçu, a tributary of Rio Tapajós, in Pará, Brazil (the mouth of Rio Curuçu is located nearby the Amazonas/Pará border and the headwaters are located in Pará). Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate Rio Curuçu. Used Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate geographic center of the mouth of the river (confluence of Rio Curuçu and Rio Tapajós) and the headwaters of the river (approximated through the dense forest cover), then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Rio Curuçu nearest to the midpoint of the line; used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the midpoint of the river, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Input coordinates, linear extent (25 m), and measurement error (108340.0 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
