• 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 />
