Rekan-rekan, Mungkin masih ingat e-mail dari Andang di bawah ini. Kebetulan saya menghadirinya. Ada sekitar 50 orang hadir, dari 16 negara. Paling banyak kelompok Benneton, China, India, dan Jepang. Dari Indonesia ada 5 orang, 3 orang memberikan presentasi.
Sebagian besar peserta datang dari perguruan tinggi dan 'geological survey department'. Peserta dari Jepang banyak menampilkan teknologi laboratorium. Peserta dari China dan Vietnam, tidak punya banyak teknologi kelihatannya, tapi banyak kerja keras. Conference ini diakhiri dengan field trip ke modern delta system: Baram, Terusan, dan Mahakam (tidak dihadiri oleh semua peserta) dan outcrop di sekitarnya.

Most of the sediment delivered to the oceans by rivers has been deposited in the coastal zones, where it has built numerous deltas. These delta systems are significant not only for helping sedimentary and marine geologists understand modern processes and ancient rocks, but also for their human populations, port and City infrastructures, and natural and living resources. The Asian coast has many large and distinct river deltas, which have abundant resources and products, and sustain a huge human population. These delta systems receive approximately 75% of the worldwide sediment discharge from the land to the oceans and collectively compose the largest depocenter on Earth. On the other hand, these deltaic environments are vulnerable to numerous and frequent geo-hazards, such as tsunamis, storms, floods, droughts, and sea-level rise, and recently they have been subject to anthropogenic impacts from engineering projects, urbanization, and land-use changes. International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) Project 475, Deltas in the Monsoon Asia-Pacific Region (DeltaMAP), has been organizing international conference on deltas annually. First meeting was held in Bangkok and Ayutthaya on January 15-20, 2004 in conjunction with 5th International Conference on Asian Marine Geology partially, and 2nd meeting was held in Ho Chi Minh City on January 9-16, 2005. Both meetings were co-organized with APN project Mega-Deltas of Asia (2003-2004: PI, Zhongyuan Chen). CCOP DelSEA project co-organizes since 2nd meeting. Through two meetings, more than 200 participants joined from 22 countries. We exchanged scientific ideas and new findings and discussed scientific issues and cooperation during the conference. Its report is shown at web pages of IGCP-475 <http://unit.aist.go.jp/igg/rg/cug-rg/ADP.html> and APN Mega-deltas <http://www.megadelta.ecnu.edu.cn/>. The third meeting is held in Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Brunei in Borneo Island on January 13-18, 2006, with field excursions to modern (Baram and Trusan deltas) and ancient deltas, and optional field excursion to the Mahakam Delta. High-mountainous small islands in Asia and Oceania contribute more than 30 % of the worldwide sediment discharge from the land to the oceans. Numerous deltas distributed along the coasts are not only fascinating, but also giving modern analogs of ancient deltaic sediments in these regions, which are significant benefit to human being in energy. Borneo Island gives us one of best examples of deltas in this region. We welcome your participation and abstract submission and are looking forward to discussing with you in the field excursions. International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) Project 475, Deltas in the Monsoon Asia-Pacific Region (DeltaMAP), which runs for five years from 2003 to 2007. The IGCP has been a joint endeavor of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and IUGS (International Union of Geological Sciences) since 1972. The general objectives of IGCP-475 DeltaMAP are to significantly improve our understanding of Asian river deltas by 1) synthesizing recent research results; 2) bridging the traditional gaps between terrestrial, coastal, and marine research; and 3) identifying the major needs and goals of future research. Furthermore, in pursuing these goals, we expect significant advances in fundamental research on monsoon-driven sediment-dispersal systems. CCOP DelSEA project, entitled The Integrated Geological Assessment for Deltas in Southeast and East Asia Region, running from 2004 to 2008, is a project supported by CCOP "the Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia". The purpose of this project is to foster the exchange of latest knowledge on deltas, Quaternary geology, sequence stratigraphy, and geological coastal management. This will enhance cooperative study on deltaic coasts, mostly through the annual meeting of IGCP-475.
