Abstract of the last published paper:

Article 2 [2003]: Micropaleontological investigations in the modern
Mahakam delta, East Kalimantan (Indonesia), by Bernard LAMBERT - The
Mahakam delta is a mixed, fluvial and wave dominated delta located in the
eastern part of the island of Borneo (the East Kalimantan province of
Indonesia). The distribution of benthic fauna in this delta system is
influenced by the combined or antagonistic action of three main
parameters: fluvial input of fresh water and sediment, tide, and a strong
regional north to south drift current. A model of the present-day faunal
distribution has been established taking into account the perturbations
induced by the tide and by the regional drift current. This model has
been extrapolated into the recent past through the study of shallow cores
that permit the reconstruction of late Holocene deltaic regression
patterns.
