Given the river discharge and sediment supply from the Berau drainage basin, the actual flow and sediment transport through the tidal river, the estuary and the coastal shelf towards the coral reefs can be estimated. read more

An integrated infrastructure initiative executed by a consortium of 20 internationally renowned European research institutes, universities, and enterprises. HYDRALAB III is an extension of HYDRALAB II, in which 15 partners were working closely together with the objective of optimising the important position of laboratory experiments in our fields. HYDRALAB III will intensify this by a coordinated program of transnational access, joint research activities and networking activities, destined to improve, refine and harmonise the use of the available high-quality facilities and measuring methods in our fields. read more
