  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the access road which leads from Estrada Perdida to the headquarters of PARNA Viruá in Roraima, Brazil. Referred to the ICMBio website (http://www.icmbio.gov.br/portal/biodiversidade/unidades-de-conservacao/biomas-brasileiros/amazonia/unidades-de-conservacao-amazonia/1988-parna-do-virua.html) for the precise location of PARNA Viruá (synonymous with Parque Nacional do Virua). ICMBio provides a shapefile (.kmz) of the boundaries of PARNA Viruá, which may be viewed on Google Earth. Using Google Earth and Google Maps - Satellite View, located the unnamed access road which leads to the headquarters. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line between the intersection of Estrada Perdida and the access road and the location where the access road meets the PARNA Viruá headquarters, then halved this distance to fine the midpoint of this line. Chose a point on the access road nearest to the midpoint of this line; used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the road. Input coordinates, linear extent (2097.76 m), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
