Dinosaur Research Institute

about

With our abundance of dinosaur bearing sediments, Alberta has a special position in the study and preservation of this unique and valuable palaeontological resource.

Significant funding is required to prospect, study and excavate this resource before the volumes of sediment are eroded and the fossils are exposed to weathering and destruction. Young scientists who have embarked on this fascinating profession need financial support for their research.

In 1996, a group of enthusiastic Albertans established the Dinosaur Research Institute (DRI). It was registered as a charity in 1997.

DRI’s purpose is to coordinate, support, direct and fund dinosaur and palaeontological research in Western Canada or with Canadian paleo scientists at important sites worldwide. In addition, graduate students are supported in paleo projects.
