  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Commewijne River in Suriname. Used Google Maps - Earth View to find the Commewijne River. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the location where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean and the approximate headwaters (approximated through the dense forest cover), then halved this distance to find the midpoint of this line. Chose a point along Commewijne River nearest to the midpoint of this line; used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic midpoint of the 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 (68390.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
