What is peatland and why is it important
Can take over a century of fires
and haze until all peat is lost

LiDAR application in Indonesia
Overview map of all
LiDAR data applied by
Deltares in projects in
Sumatra and Borneo
(Indonesia and Brunei).
Projects using LiDAR are:
► 2010-14: KFCP; Central
Kalimantan; Ausaid
funded.
► 2013-15: SPPC; SE Asia;
with WI and UGM; NORAD
funded.
► 2014-15: BAP; Brunei;
with WI; Shell funded.
► 2014-15: PBPMP;
Indonesia; APP funded.

Margono et al., 2014), forest that was burnt or partly burnt since
2012, as indicated by MODIS hotspots (red) and canals + logging tracks (blue).

Peat mapping training in Joint Cooperation Program
- Training in the “LiDAR strip approach method” to develop peat surface elevation
models (24-27 Aug 2015; 33 participants) and from that MINIMUM peat thickness
maps (3-5 Nov 2015; 24 participants).
- Participants from BIG, BPPT, PusAir, LAPAN, MoEF, Bappenas, IPB, UGM,
UNPAD, UNDIP, WRI
Canopy height and degradation from LiDAR

Canopy height and degradation from LiDAR
Example of the height distribution in forest canopy as a function of distance to plantation
perimeter canal on very deep peat (>10m).

Canal water levels from LiDAR
Example of the water
levels upstream and
downstream of a dam in
an Acacia plantation on
peat.
TOP: 3D image of location
combining LiDAR data and
orthophoto.
BOTTOM: Profile over
dam, showing a water
level difference across the
dam of 0.9 m.

Canal water levels from LiDAR
LiDAR pulses can reflect
in canals for different
reasons.

Subsidence over time
LiDAR derived peat surface elevation over a peat dome in West Kalimantan, before and
after plantation development (forest clearing and drainage) in a previously intact area.

Note that this area is
classified as ‘mature oil

is indeed all planted
with OP, but nearly all
OP is dead or dying.
This plantation is not
mature and not
productive.

Methods
We are using open source software
• PDAL - Point Data Abstraction Library
• Displaz - A hackable LiDAR viewer
• Potree – Web based LiDAR viewer
Most processing is done in self developed Julia
scripts, with reusable parts shared with the
community on GitHub.
Methods
Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic
programming language for technical
computing.
Computationally heavy to process point clouds.
One language for prototyping and large scale
application.
Easy to develop your own fast algorithms.

Conclusions
LiDAR data, even if not full coverage, can provide a tremendous
amount of insight into the water management issues in the
peatlands of Indonesia.
Based on this data measures can be taken to prevent further
degradation.
