Desert Research Institute

A Desert Research Institute (DRI) is a type of research institution that studies and monitors the desert environment. This can include things like deserts, dry ocean floors, and other arid climates. Scientists at a Desert Research Institute use different kinds of technology and methods to learn about how these desert areas work and how they can be used in different ways. They also study how the desert environment can affect animals, plants, and humans. By understanding the desert environment, scientists can develop new ways to protect the environment and keep it healthy for future generations.
