• Projects of LAPAN:<br />

o Co-operation with Ministry of Research and Technology, LAPAN, Indonesian<br />

Institute of Science LIPI, University Palangkaraya, and Hokkaido University: Wildfire<br />

and Carbon Management in Peat Forest in Indonesia. Proposal submitted, from<br />

June 2009 up to three years. Research area is Palangkaraya and its surrounding<br />

(ex Mega Rice field Project) in Central Kalimantan (Orbita)<br />

o LAPAN and RSS <strong>German</strong>y-consulting group: TerraSar-X data, Focus in fisheries,<br />

mangroves, proposal to ESA (not confirmed yet)<br />

o HARIMAU-project toge<strong>the</strong>r with Japan: monsoon rainfall, inter-seasonal variation,<br />

automonitoring<br />

o Merang REDD Pilot Project (MRPP): South Sumatra peat area, starting in late 2008,<br />

satellite and ground data <strong>for</strong> Carbon Stock and Carbon Emission. Follows <strong>the</strong> South<br />

Sumatra Forest Fire Management Project (SSFFMP) funded by <strong>the</strong> EU (and<br />

possibly <strong>GTZ</strong>) from 2003 to 2008<br />

• LAPAN co-operates with CIFOR already, currently in modeling <strong>the</strong> impacts of climate<br />

change on <strong>for</strong>est fire risks in Indonesia.<br />

• LAPAN has until now not much to do with carbon stocks. No belowground biomass<br />

measurements but peat distribution. Aboveground biomass estimations are planned (not<br />

yet decided where <strong>the</strong> research sites should be)<br />

• CO2-measurements take place in Pontianak - West Kalimantan as part of study CO2 sinks<br />

and sources from ground measurements (<strong>the</strong>y use also any available related satellite<br />

data). LAPAN has one tower working since last year. They try to put more in whole<br />

Kalimantan (3-5 towers, 10, 25, and 50 meters high) through domestic/international<br />

collaboration. The tower is also measuring methane but <strong>the</strong>y failed to get CH4-Sensor.<br />

Data are not yet published and <strong>the</strong>re is no co-operation until now. It is possible to share<br />

<strong>the</strong>se data. One tower is about 100 million Rupiahs <strong>for</strong> its erection (around 7,000 to 8,000<br />

Euro), not included transport cost. Below is <strong>the</strong> picture of <strong>the</strong> tower (12 meter high) and<br />

data sampling of CO2 measurement at Pontianak/West Kalimantan (compared to that at<br />

Bandung/West Java)<br />

• The Ministry of Environment Indonesia (or Sarawak) could be a partner <strong>for</strong> our project<br />

• Niche: There is not much be done about carbon stocks and flux in Indonesia at all.<br />

Implementation of REDD is an important issue as well<br />

• Many thanks to Dr. Erna Sri Adiningsih, Dr. Orbita Roswintiarti and Dr. Thomas<br />

Djamaluddin <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> review of <strong>the</strong> minutes<br />

10.2.6. University Mulawarman Samarinda<br />

Minutes of <strong>the</strong> Meeting with Members of Mulawarman University<br />

Faculty of Forestry, University Mulawarman Samarinda<br />

Samarinda, 15 th January 2009, 10:00 to 13:00<br />

Attended by <strong>the</strong> Dean of <strong>the</strong> Faculty Professor Afif, Dr. Deddy Hadriyanto, Dr. Rudianto<br />

Amirta, Sadely Ilyas M.Agr., Dr. Sumaryono, Karyati MP, Rita Diana MSc, Ali Suhardiman S<br />

Hut, Bernaulus Saragih M Sc., Jan Wehberg<br />

• The meeting was partly held in Indonesian language and translated in short summaries<br />

into English<br />

• Research focus:<br />

o Deddy Hadriyanto: Carbon flux<br />

o Dr. Rudianto Amirta: Biomass conversion<br />

o Sadely Ilyas: Acacia stands in mining areas. Will work with Karyati<br />
