• Remote sensing, meteorological satellite images available are from MODIS and<br />
NOAA/FY1D (China)<br />
• MMD currently has no section <strong>for</strong> carbon stocks and flux<br />
• MMD has co-operations with some local universities<br />
• Research funds are available <strong>for</strong> local scientists from <strong>the</strong> Ministry of Science, Technology<br />
and Innovation, Malaysia<br />
• All meteorological data supplied are subject to a fee<br />
• The consultant received a “Monthly Wea<strong>the</strong>r Bulletin – December 2008” which amongst<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs contains <strong>the</strong> record periods of <strong>the</strong> stations<br />
• Many thanks to Tan Huvi Vein <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> review of <strong>the</strong> minutes<br />
10.2.10. SITF<br />
Minutes of <strong>the</strong> 2. SITF-Meeting<br />
Dr. Normah, Dr. Phua, Dr. Andy, Dr. Michael Fischer<br />
Kota Kinabalu, 21 st January 2009, 08:45 to 10:30<br />
• Presentation of <strong>the</strong> findings of <strong>the</strong> trip by Jan<br />
o Two aspects: REDD on <strong>the</strong> one hand and assessment of carbon stock on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
• Possible contribution<br />
o Dr. Phua: Remote sensing (possibly as co-ordinator)<br />
o Dr. Normah and Dr. Andy: Carbon stock<br />
o Dr. Hardawati: Implementation of REDD<br />
• Development of tools <strong>for</strong> an assessment of carbon stocks (field work, GIS, remote<br />
sensing) would be a good selling point<br />
• The land-system-approach by Mulyanto/Bakosurtanal may be useful <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> purposes of<br />
<strong>the</strong> project<br />
o It has to be supplemented by a land cover unit<br />
o Bakosurtanal is a very important partner <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> SITF<br />
• The partners should agree upon <strong>the</strong> classification and definition of <strong>for</strong>est types early to<br />
contribute this to <strong>the</strong> proposal<br />
• As regards research topics three members of <strong>the</strong> UnMul seems to be qualified to <strong>the</strong> joint<br />
research proposal: Rita, Ali, and Bernaulus. Dr. Deddy should be <strong>the</strong> co-ordinator.<br />
• CIFOR may be on <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> partners or at <strong>the</strong> same level as Hamburg and SITF<br />
• It would not be possible to deal with belowground biomass or soil, because that would<br />
exceed <strong>the</strong> capacities. In <strong>the</strong> opinion of Dr. Phua an examination of carbon flux will not be<br />
realistic<br />
• CIFOR has to develop <strong>the</strong> methods which are to be used under <strong>the</strong> project phase<br />
• Jan will prepare a rough sketch of SITFs Input to <strong>the</strong> project which should be discussed<br />
with <strong>the</strong> SITF-staff tomorrow as well as with <strong>the</strong> Hamburg University be<strong>for</strong>e it will be send<br />
to CIFOR<br />
