emote sensing products to use will be critical from the st<strong>and</strong>points of accuracy, cost, availability, <strong>and</strong><br />

sustainability of the satellite platform. It is anticipated that medium resolution images will be needed<br />

(approximately 2.5 metre resolution) in order to track l<strong>and</strong> cover change while LIDAR (Light Detection<br />

<strong>and</strong> Ranging Imaging) will be used to estimate changes in peat depth. The technical level of the system<br />

must be high enough to demonstrate the viability of the GHG emissions monitoring through<br />

measurement in changes to peat levels, while eventually being able to integrate into FRIS/INCAS. This<br />

may mean testing both high <strong>and</strong> low resolution products <strong>and</strong> compare to the national system. The<br />

<strong>KFCP</strong> results <strong>and</strong> findings are expected to inform the development of the national system.<br />

Related activities are the potential development of a differential correction GPS base station to allow<br />

accurate measurement of peat subsidence in the demonstration area, use of remote sensing images as a<br />

basis for village mapping, <strong>and</strong> airborne laser as a basis for establishing permanent base line surface<br />

level measurement. Reports of fire hotspots <strong>and</strong> burned area mapping by the FireWatch Indonesia<br />

system will be used for checking the success of fire prevention measures <strong>and</strong> fire-related emission<br />

calculations.<br />

Early Implementation Phase<br />

Form the peat & GHG Group <strong>and</strong> convene the first meeting which will plan a review of the<br />

information required for estimating peat swamp forest GHG emissions, develop a work plan for<br />

the group‘s activities for 2009 <strong>and</strong> integrate this with ‗lessons learned‘ for input into the three<br />

UNFCCC meetings in 2009;<br />

Develop a <strong>KFCP</strong> GIS <strong>and</strong> database <strong>and</strong> input data from groups working in Central <strong>Kalimantan</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> the EMRP;<br />

Prepare for LIDAR radar imaging information for the <strong>KFCP</strong> area covering at least 150,000 ha<br />

(includes a reference area);<br />

2 nd meeting of the Peat <strong>and</strong> GHG Group in the peat swamp forests in the <strong>KFCP</strong> area (BOS<br />

Release camp); <strong>and</strong><br />

Finalise the review of information required for estimating GHG from peat swamp forests.<br />

Implementation Phase<br />

Develop methodologies for the estimation of carbon content of peat swamp forests <strong>and</strong> peat<br />

characteristics <strong>and</strong> GHG emissions;<br />

Develop scoping documents for additional research required for estimating GHG from peat<br />

swamp forests (above <strong>and</strong> below ground);<br />

Implement methodologies for estimating <strong>and</strong> monitoring GHG from peat swamp forests,<br />

including stocks in water courses <strong>and</strong> dams, impact of fires, erosion of the peat from rainfall<br />

run-off; <strong>and</strong><br />

Monitor impact of interventions on peat swamp forests <strong>and</strong> GHG emissions.<br />
