  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 3 km. north of the approximate geographic center of the town of Nogueira in Tefé, Amazonas. Determined that locality description "3 km. atrás da Vila" (behind the town) translates to 3 km. north of the town, since south would plot in Lago Tefe. Referred to map, "Figure 1: Location map showing rescue and release sites of Neotropical otter," for approximate location of Nogueira (Marmontel, M., Isis Buck Silva, C., Botero-Arias, R. and Miguel, H.A. (2011) Rescue, Tagging and Release of a Neotropical Otter (Lontra longicaudis) in Western Brazilian Amazon. Proceedings of XIth International Otter Colloquium, IUCN Otter Spec. Group Bull. 28B: 36 - 46. http://www.otterspecialistgroup.org/Bulletin/Volume28B/Marmontel_et_al_Fig1.jpg). Using Google Maps, located Nogueira along Lago Tefé. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the town. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure from the selected coordinates to the geographic center of the nearest named place, Alvarães; halved this extent to find linear extent. Input coordinates, linear extent (5147.4 m.), offset distance (3000 m.), offset direction (N), measurement error (.1 m.), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the offset coordinates and uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
