Berau coal in East Kalimantan; Its petrographics characteristics and depositional environment

Summary of Orangutan Surveys Conducted in Berau District, East Kalimantan

Monitoring tropical coastal waters of Berau estuary, East Kalimantan, Indonesia using MERIS data

This paper investigates the performance of MERIS reduced resolution data to monitor water quality parameters in the Berau estuary waters, Indonesia. Total Suspended Matter (TSM) and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration were derived from MERIS data using three different algorithms for coastal waters: standard global processor (MERIS L2), C2R and FUB. The outcomes were compared to in situ measurem...

The policy of control health and safety and the risk factors in the coal mining of east Kalimantan

Background Occupation within the coal mining company is full of risks. Being located far from residential areas and the risk of occupational health and safety (HS) and the first-hand experience thereof may be considered to be limited to the miners themselves. The control policies by the government issued a once every three months visit to the main site. However, this is regarded as not being ef...

Depositional Environment and Sequence Stratigraphy of the Oligocene-Miocene Deposits North and East of Dehdasht, Izeh Zone, Zagros Basin, Iran

In this study, four well-exposed outcrops of the Asmari Fm in the southeastern part of the Izeh Zone of the Zagros Mountains were measured and sampled. In this region, the Asmari Fm is Oligocene to Early Miocene in age as determined by large benthic foraminifera. Based on depositional geometries, biogenic contents and lateral and vertical variations of facies, three depositional models are prop...

A comparison of Sub-Pixel and maximum likelihood classification of Landsat ETM+ images to detect illegal logging in the Tropical Rain Forest of Berau, East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Selective logging is currently a widely adopted management practice throughout the tropics. Monitoring of spatial extent and intensity of such logging is, therefore, becoming an important issue for sustainable management of forest. In spite of successful use of RS in various field of forestry, detection and quantification of selective logging is still a problem. This study explores the possibil...
