Athabasca University

This online Repository provides online, public access to scientific research on the Athabasca River Basin

ARBRI is an innovative interdisciplinary research centre located in the heart of the Athabasca River Basin.

The Institute and the Basin: A Unique Opportunity

Created in 2008, the Athabasca River Basin Research Institute (ARBRI) is an innovative interdisciplinary research centre that studies the Athabasca River Basin and its people from a broad range of perspectives.

The Institute encourages and supports interdisciplinary research that bridges disciplines and allows researchers to address complex questions. Using this collaborative approach, ARBRI serves as a point of co-ordination for Athabasca University’s research activities and those of other institutions. The institute fosters relationships bridging academia, government, non-governmental organizations, industry and stakeholder communities. Given the size and influence of the Athabasca River Basin and the activities associated with it, these relationships  naturally extend beyond Alberta's boundaries.
