Abstract
The Berau delta and barrier reef system, East Kalimantan, Indonesia are subject of an integrated and multidisciplinary research programme that studies the transfer of water and sediment from upland river catchments towards estuaries and offshore located coral reef systems. Estuaries in the Berau delta have a certain trapping efficiency but a significant part of the suspended matter is still able to reach the marine environment. Seismic profiles, isotope analysis for deposition rates, estuarine and offshore measurements of salinity and turbidity patterns and ecological evidence, collected during a pilot study, provide clear evidence for this.
