  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of Casaquera; instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Itabani, a tributary of Rio Urubu, in Mun. Silves, Amazonas. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate Rio Itabani. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the mouth of the river (confluence of Rio Itabani and Rio Urubu) and the headwaters of the stream (approximated through the dense forest cover), then halved this distance to find the midpoint of this line. Chose a point along Rio Itabani nearest to the midpoint of this line; used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic midpoint of this river, 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 river. Input coordinates, linear extent (19360.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
